Welcome to Oxford, MD

Oxford is Maryland’s oldest town; it began as a seaport back in the 1860s and grew into a prominent shipping center with the growth of the tobacco industry in the 1700s. Today, it is home to roughly 1,000 residents. But don’t let its modest size fool you. Oxford’s location in Talbot County on the Delmarva Peninsula accounts for the town’s relaxed coastal vibe and envious selection of waterfront residences. The town’s historic district is particularly attractive for those looking to relocate.

Oxford’s residents enjoy a surprising number of amenities. These include employment opportunities at Black & Decker and Salisbury Pewter, ferry service between Oxford and St. Michaels, maritime recreation at the town’s six marinas, golfing at two 18-hole courses, and fresh seafood at such notable Oxford establishments as the Robert Morris Inn. The town is also just a short distance from the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, a 180-acre interactive museum comprising 35 buildings. And because the town is near both the University of Maryland Eastern Shore and Washington College, many families choose to relocate to Oxford.
