The Oxford Historic District embraces the first developedsections of the town and includes a majority of its surviving nineteenth century buildings and most of its significant early twentieth century buildings as well. Long and relatively narrow, the district stretches north along College, New College, Broad, Goshen, Cherry, West, Rectory, McClanahan and Watkins streets, and south along Hillsboro, Williamsboro, Court, Littlejohn, Main, Gilliam, Raleigh, Spring, High, Front and Coggeshall streets. Its 246 properties fall under three of the property types described on the multiple property documentation form: Plantation Era Properties in Granville County, 1746-1865; Bright Leaf Era Properties in Oxford, 1866-1937; and, to a limited extent, Plantation and Bright Leaf Era Outbuildings in Granville County, 1746-1937. These properties are primarily residential. However, the district also includes churches, government buildings, banks, tobacco processing facilities and other nonresidential buildings; a small number of bright leaf era outbuildings, primarily garages; and a late nineteenth/early twentieth century commercial district, which radiates out from the 1838 Granville County Courthouse along the central intersection of Hillsboro, Williamsboro, College and Main streets.
