About Oakwood, Texas

Oakwood began in 1872 as a railroad station in northeastern Leon County. Originally called Oakwoods for the area's many oak trees, the community later moved west after rain made its first streets difficult to travel. The 2020 census recorded 389 residents.

  • A Town RelocatedRain left the original low site's streets nearly impassable, prompting the community to move two miles farther west.
