About Oxford County
Located in the heart of southwestern Ontario at the crossroads of Highways 401 and 403, Oxford County has a population of approximately 130,000 people across eight area municipalities that are “growing stronger together.”
Oxford County Council is made up of the mayors of each of the area municipalities plus an additional two councillors elected to the City of Woodstock as city/county councillors. As a partnership-oriented, two-tier municipal government, Oxford County is emerging as a leader in sustainable growth through the Future Oxford Community Sustainability Planand County Council’s commitment to achieving 100% renewable energy, becoming a zero waste community and working towards zero poverty.
Situated in one of Ontario’s richest areas for farmland, agriculture is a key industry that is driving innovation in sustainable industries and diversifying the local economy. Oxford County offers a thriving local arts, culture and culinary community, as well as conservation parks, natural areas and more than 100 kilometres of scenic trails.
The Oxford County Administration Building is situated in Woodstock, Ontario.
