"Progress with Pride" The Town of Oxbow is located approximately 60 km east of Estevan on Highway 18. The name of the town was derived from the oxbow bend in the Souris River, which passes along the community's south side. Settlers, largely of English, Irish and Scottish origin, began homesteading in the district in 1882. The community grew very rapidly: by 1916, the population was 678, and that number remained relatively constant through several decades. In the mid-1950's, significant development began in the area's oilfields, and for several years the region experienced boom times as drilling rigs, industry-related services and personnel move Highlights of the Oxbow area include the new Moose Creek Regional Park and Golf Club, the Alameda Dam, Bow Valley Park, and the Ralph Allen Memorial Museum. Oxbow is known for its quiet small town atmosphere, strong family values, and its safe and friendly community spirit. Oxbow allows you a chance to slow down, relax and enjoy yourself. Whether stopping by for the day, week or just passing through, allow the hospitality and friendliness of the people to make you feel welcome. Oxbow . . . it's the people!
