The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗The first inhabitants of what would become Oak Hill were the native Timucuan, who lived along the shore from c. 2000 BCE to 1500 CE, when European settlers started to arrive. In 1564, the French illustrator, Jacques LeMoyne, made a map showing an Indian village named Surruque el Viejo near el Baradero de Suroc. The name "Oak Hill" seems to have been first used by seasonal northern loggers circa 1850, named for an oak tree that grew on the native Timuca tribe's shell mound near the home of J.D. Mitchell, who was the community's first settler.
