The City of Oak Hill is the southern most city in Southeast Volusia
County and is the least developed of the three communities, comprising
10.5 square miles and a population of 1,200.
Named for its abundance of trees, the city lies along the beautiful
Indian River. The town is rich in history, bird life and subtropical
flora. Citrus groves were planted beginning in 1865, and commercial
fishing began in 1908.
The beauty and charm of the Oak Hill community is enhanced by lovely
19th century homes. Incorporated in 1963, Oak Hill’s form of
government is Mayor Commission, with each commissioner functioning
as head of a municipal department.
Oak Hill lived by fishing the river and growing citrus crops. Recent
restrictions in the use of nets all but destroyed the local fishing
industry with but a few surviving with cast nets. Oak Hill's limited
commercial base from enterprise along US 1, automobile service and a
small swimming pool manufacturer barely supports the small community.
Today it's "bedroom" city with commuting north and south the norm.
Oak Hill is located South of New Smyrna Beach and Edgewater, and
borders the Canaveral National Seashore, and is close to the Kennedy
Space Center |
