Oxbow
Welcome to Oxbow!
Oxbow, named for the winding bends of the Aroostook River as it passes through the area, is largely defined by Oxbow Road, connecting more populated areas to the east with the endless wilderness of the North Maine Woods to the west. Oxbow was incorporated as a plantation for many years, but residents recently voted to de-organize in order to lower property tax rates. The official name is now “Oxbow North and Township 9 Range 6.” (Source)
