Oxford is a small Canadian town (Population: 1,332 as of 2001) located in Cumberland County, Nova Scotia about 32 km (20 miles) east of Amherst. Oxford was founded in 1791 by settler Richard Thompson. The name "Oxford" is derived from the shallow river that was used to enter Oxford. Early settlers often found it easy to use Oxen to cross, or "ford", the river, and thus the town's name was born.
