== Fun facts ==
* During a time of great growth in the region during the 1880's, Oakland emerged as the center of commerce in west Orange County, and it appeared that the village would blossom into city, with the town incorporating in 1887. Unfortunately, however, a fire in the business district and a subsequent period of freezes in rapid succession throughout the 1890's, along with the growth of nearby Winter Garden seemed to ensure that Oakland would remain as little more than a sleepy village.
* Oakland has very little amenities to offer. It has dollar stores, a few local businesses, Killarney Station, DG Doughnuts, a nature preserve, and that's about it.
