Oak Hill is a village in Jackson County, Ohio, United States, located approximately a 35 mile drive north of Ashland, KY and 42 mile drive southeast of Chillicothe, Ohio. The population was 1,407 at the 2020 census.
The Village of Oak Hill was officially formed on January 12th, 1873 from portions of Jefferson and Madison Townships.
Many immigrants from Cardiganshire, Wales had previously settled in the area, with the first arriving in the Gallia/ Jackson County area in 1818 and many more in the late 1830's and 1840's- an era referred to as "The Great Welsh Tide." Several Welsh churches were constructed in the Oak Hill Area in the 19th Century, with some of them conducting services in the Welsh Language in to the 1920's. The Welsh-American Heritage Museum is located in the former Welsh Congregational Church on East Main St in the Village.
Oak Hill's early industrial history included Jefferson Furnace (which is acclaimed for producing Iron for the Iron Clad Monitor) being located a couple miles west of the Village and other iron furnaces being located in the surrounding region. The Firebrick Industry began developing in the Oak Hill area in the 1870's and had a profound impact on the village economically into the mid 20th Century. Few firebrick related businesses operate in the Oak Hill area to date.
The Oak Hill Union Local School District was formed around 1890, with the first graduating class of Oak Hill High School being the Class of 1893. The current Oak Hill High School was opened in August of 2003. A new football stadium, the multi-million dollar Davis Stadium was opened in 2006. The Oak Hill High School Boys Basketball Team were the Division IV State Champions in 2009.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 1.14 square miles (2.95 km2), all land. [4]
