About Oxford, Connecticut
Oxford is a town of 12,706 people in New Haven County, and the Housatonic River forms its western edge. It became a separate parish of Derby in 1741, and for years afterward its people asked to be a town of their own. Derby always called its town meeting for nine in the morning, but by custom nobody opened it before one in the afternoon.
So in 1798 the Oxford voters formed a procession on their main street and walked together to the Derby town house, with their minister along to offer the prayer. The meeting began right at nine o'clock. By the time Derby riders had gathered enough voters, Oxford had already elected the town clerk and won a vote putting half of all future town meetings in Oxford. The town was incorporated that October, and its first meeting that November drew a full house despite deep snow.
“This new instance of liberality excited additional interest in the hardworking Oxford farmer, whose example had now placed him at the head of the benefactors of this ancient literary institution.”
- Who was the Quaker?Old records call the village Quaker's Farm as early as 1683, yet no one ever found out who the Quaker was. In 1722 Abraham Wooster, whose son became General David Wooster, purchased land there, where he farmed and ran a sawmill. John Griffin, born in 1725 as the village's first English child, later fought at Quebec under Wolfe. Christ Church, a wooden church in the Federal and Gothic styles, was built in 1812 and still stands at its heart.
- A farmer's gift to YaleSheldon Clark, born in Oxford in 1785, grew up with a grandfather who thought college a waste of money. When the old man died in 1811, Clark spent one winter studying at Yale and then returned to his farm.
- A telescope made to orderIn 1829 Clark gave Yale another gift, a telescope he had ordered built, with a focal length of ten feet.
- Mills on the Little RiverThe Wooster mill site on the Little River was at work from at least 1747 until 1965, cutting lumber, grinding grain and pressing cider. Captain John Wooster bought it about 1750. Joe Montriski built the present mill building in the 1920s and kept it running until he died in 1965, and the mill stopped with him. It's now a private home.
- The first high dam, 1919The Connecticut Light and Power Company began the Stevenson Dam in 1917, and about 800 men built it, housed at Camp Crisfield. As the Housatonic's first high dam, it started generating electricity in 1919. Lake Zoar filled in behind it and covered Pleasant Vale, once part of Oxford. Route 34 runs across the dam on its built-in bridge, and the 131-foot powerhouse sits on the Monroe side. The plant joined the National Register in 2000.
