OXFORD, 2.1 miles (500 alt., 1,723 pop.), on the slope of Scotts Mt., is an iron-mining center. The village sprang up two centuries ago around Oxford Furnace, one of Washington's sources of military supplies. Most of the working population is employed in a dye factory in the valley of Musconetcong River (L). A drab Lackawanna R.R. station (L) and a squat water tank shadowing carloads of iron ore mark the entrance to the village. A tiny frame post office, painted brightly in black and white, contrasts with unpainted wooden shacks. Larger, better-kept houses are on the side streets.
