Welcome to Oakland, Maine Where History Meets Innovation!
Nestled in the heart of the Belgrade Lakes region, Oakland, Maine is a vibrant and welcoming community in Kennebec County, just minutes from Waterville and Augusta. Known for its scenic beauty and strong sense of community, Oakland is surrounded by four pristine lakes; Messalonskee, East Pond, McGrath Pond, and Salmon Lake which offer endless opportunities for recreation, relaxation, and natural enjoyment.
Rich in history and small-town charm, Oakland was incorporated in 1873 and quickly became known for its industrious spirit and lakeside living. Today, it blends that heritage with a forward-looking vision focused on community development, local business growth, and environmental stewardship.
Whether you’re here to live, work, or visit, Oakland offers something for everyone: an excellent school system, thriving businesses, beautiful parks and hiking trails, and a quality of life that reflects the very best of Central Maine.
