Welcome to Oakwood, OH
Though it may just seem like a suburb of Dayton, Oakwood is a destination in its own right...but it's also a wonderful place to call home. This charming town has seen its fair share of history—Orville Wright, the creator of the modern airplane, once lived here, and Oakwood also hosted a little-known nuclear research facility that was integral during World War II. Today, Oakwood has transformed into a modern suburb that showcases stunning architecture, exciting attractions, and endless educational and employment opportunities.
