A growth city on the interstate
Oxford had 22,069 residents in the 2020 Census. It was founded in the early 1850s and incorporated in 1852. The name comes from a narrow crossing of Choccolocco Creek where cattle were forded.[2]
Interstate 20 runs through the southern part of the city with four exits, and US 78 and Alabama 21 also pass through. The article says the city's position between major metropolitan areas helps fuel growth.[2]
A city with that much retail and road traffic needs commercial space. If you are planning a shop, a service building or storage, a steel commercial building may be worth considering.[2]
