Incorporated in 1905, Oakville was named for the scrub oak trees found in the area. A Chehalis Indian campground was on this site.
It became a lively place in the early 1900s as a boarding house for railroad construction workers. It has long been a collection point for large volumes of Cascara bark found in nearby forests.
