About Lower Oxford, Pennsylvania

Lower Oxford is a township of 5,420 people in Chester County, and Lincoln University, a historically black university, stands within it. The land once belonged to neighboring Londonderry Township, named for Londonderry in Ireland. Irish settlers, most of them Scotch-Irish, passed through here as they spread across Chester County and farther west. The old Oxford Township was split into Upper and Lower Oxford in 1797.

Part of the township once lay in ground that both Pennsylvania and Maryland claimed, and the Mason-Dixon line finally settled the question. About a third of it fell in the northern part of Susquehanna Manor, a Maryland tract later called New Connaught. Maryland named it for the Irish province of Connacht to draw Irish families to the area.

  • Hopewell, a borough until 1914Hopewell became a borough on May 2, 1853, formed from land in Lower Oxford and East Nottingham, and it kept that status until 1914. Drawn by the water power in the valley, the Dickey family built it up between 1815 and the 1870s, trying new ways of farming and milling. Samuel Dickey (1769-1835) was known for new farming methods, and the family led the way in founding schools in the area. Many of its 19th-century buildings still stand.
  • Named for OxfordThe name may have come from an earlier Oxford Township that is now part of the city of Philadelphia, or straight from Oxford, England. Either way, Oxford was a single township until the 1797 split created Upper and Lower Oxford.
  • John Maes on Elk CreekOne early settler, John Maes, took up land on Elk Creek in the southwest corner of the old manor. His 208 acres lay partly in Lower Oxford and partly in Penn.
