Oakland History

Oakland, established in 1887, is one of the oldest municipalities in Orange County. In fact, we celebrated our 130th Anniversary in 2017.

Unfortunately, due to fires the downtown was decimated and never rebuilt.

Historic Town Hall

Built as the bank of Oakland in 1911, it served as a bank until 1928. The building is a one-story masonry brick in a Colonial Revival Style with decorative brick dentil cornices and arch brick lintels. It is one of the most unique buildings in Central Florida because of its small town rural feel.
