Description

The Oxford Hills have at all times been unique within the history of Maine. They weren’t settled until after the French and Indian War of 1763, and their isolation allowed the communities to develop distinct identities excluding external influences. The arrival of the railroad connected the area to Portland and Boston, sparking the development of a thriving wood products industry to complement the region’s agricultural economy. As transportation developed, so did the out of doors world’s awareness of the pristine natural great thing about the Oxford Hills, and the resulting influx of tourists and sportsmen brought further growth and diversity to the area. Regardless of the many changes that have transpired for the reason that sound of the first axe resounded throughout the valley of the Little Androscoggin River, the Oxford Hills remain probably the most rugged, independent, and beautiful regions in all of Maine.
