Town of Roxbury

Roxbury is a town in Oxford County, settled about 1809 and incorporated on March 17, 1835 from the township T7.

Several miles north of the Rumford-Mexico area on Maine Routes 17 and 120, the community is known for its mineral deposits, especially accessible for amateur rock hunters.

Ellis Pond and the Swift River, along with the Swift River Falls, are the major water resources that attract people with recreational and fishing interests.
