Located in southwestern Connecticut, Oxford is a small, rural town that continues to grow and progress, even in today's economy. With a new state-of-the-art high school, major real estate and industrial development, infrastructure improvements, the Oxford Greens public golf course, numerous recreational parks and activities and a busy airport, there is a lot going on in Oxford.

Oxford residents and business owners enjoy one of the lowest mil rates in New Haven County. For the budget year 2009-2010, our residents have voted for a mil rate increase of 0.11 mils, as proposed by town leaders. Because of Oxford's fiscally-responsible government with a vigilant eye on cost-effective progress, the State of Connecticut and the Federal Government provide regular grant assistance to the town. Oxford is regarded as a "small town crown jewel" of Connecticut.
