The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Oxford was first settled by Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in September 1864.
Oxford has several historical links. It is the location where Harold B. Lee, a future president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, taught school. It is also the location where Jefferson Hunt, a colonist who belonged to the Church died. Hunt is buried just behind the hill off the highway at Red Rock Pass.
In a county meeting held on Dec 9, 2024, it was moved by 28-6 vote that Oxford be disincorporated.

Nothing in Oxford is on the National Register yet
That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Oxford has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Bear River Battleground in Preston, 9.9 miles away.
