Oak River School around 1909. by H. L. Albright

The village of Oak River is located in the Rural Municipality of Blanchard which was incorporated on December 22, 1883. Within a short time there was a school in the village. Oak River, originally situated two miles north of the present day site, was built on the assumption that a railway would pass close by. It consisted of a post office and a small store. However, plans of the railway were abandoned and the town and its few occupants moved on. Then, in 1889, rails were laid on 28-13-22, south of the original site and once again settlers and merchants alike came to start a new life. It wasn't long before the bustling new village of Oak River rose from the prairies. The town grew quickly and became prosperous with - at one point in time - five elevators to handle the grain from the fertile soil.

Today the Village of Oak River's population is approximately 125 people. The village has become very determined to surpass the expectations of most rural communities by encouraging economic development. The completion of the nature trail, the golf driving range, and campground are excellent examples of the community's determination to progress while many other communities of this size have become ghost towns.
