About Oakland

Oakland is a relatively small community found in the southern portion of the US state of Maine. Oakland has a population of approximately six thousand residents, and is considered a part of Kennebec County. Oakland strikes a pleasant balance between a typically tranquil and relaxing New England town and the convenience of the state capital, which is less than twenty miles away. Oakland is considered the gateway to the Belgrade Lakes region, which is filled with scenic and recreational sites. Residents of an Oakland apartment for rent or house for rent can enjoy these opportunities as well as interesting annual events and historic regions.

Oakland was originally settled in the year seventeen eighty, and was incorporated in the year eighteen seventy three under the name West Waterville. The town was renamed ten years later, and is now home to Memorial Hall, the Oakland Area Historical Society and Museum, and the Oakland Public Library. Oakland is also home to a number of schools, parks, playgrounds, and other recreational facilities. Residents of an Oakland apartment rental or home rental can also explore nearby communities including Augusta, Gardiner, Hallowell, Waterville, Albion, Mount Vernon, Sidney, Rome, Wayne, and Clinton.
