Abstract:
Oxford in Granville County is OUR STATE magazine's featured Tar Heel town of the month. The town has a wealth of 19th- and early 20th-century homes, many of which have been restored. Located within a short drive of Durham and Raleigh, Oxford has a vital downtown business district and a tobacco-farming heritage. For years the population has remained under 10,000. This will change soon as construction has begun on Oxford Park, a 1,500 home development.
