OXFORD IRON COMPANY

The Oxford Iron Company was incorporated by an act of the General Assembly of Virginia in February 1837, “for the purposes of manufacturing iron, steel and other metals,” with offices in Richmond, Virginia, and at the Oxford Iron Works in Campbell County. According to the minutes, the business was failing and several meetings were held in 1839-1840 regarding the disposal of the business. The last recorded meeting was August 27, 1840.]]>
