The town of Oxford dates back to 1663. Designated as a seaport by Maryland's first governor, the town was one of two ports of entry in the province of Maryland; Annapolis was the other. A "waterman's town," Oxford thrived thanks to wealthy tobacco plantations, the emergence of the railroad, and a booming seafood industry. Today, the town has a more leisurely, tourist emphasis. Oxford features a number of recreational attractions, including a yacht club, 10 marinas, community tennis courts, a walking track, five-star dining, and a community center offering live theater, exercise classes, summer camps and more.
