Oak River is an unincorporated community recognized as a local urban district[1] in the Rural Municipality of Oakview, western Manitoba, Canada.

History

edit

The first settlers to the area arrived towards the end of the 1870s. Oak River itself was laid out in about 1889 when the railroad was extended to that point.[2]
