Oxford dates back to its original settlement during the Saxon period. It was occupied as a result of its strategic significane due to its controlling location on the upper reaches of the River Thames, the town grew in national importance during the early Norman Period, and in the late 12th century became home to Oxford University, the oldest university in the English-speaking world.

During the 19th Century, the city grew industrially and it experienced an industrial boom in the early 20th Century through the printing and car-manufacturing industries.
