A significant portion of the area now encompassing Oxley was originally leased by Thomas Boyland, in the early 1850s, with the area being known as Boyland's Pocket.  This land was later subdivided for small farms, approximately from the 1860s.

. The first hotel in Oxley was built in 1860 close to Oxley Creek on a rise near Factory Road. It attracted other businesses to the area and provided refreshments for travellers between Brisbane and Ipswich. The hotel soon gained a reputation as a venue where drinking and dancing occurred well into the morning hours. The hotel was moved several times due to flooding which was not a deterrent to the licensee. By 1892 a brick hotel has been built on the corner of Oxley Road and Ipswich Road, the site of a public bar still open today. By the late 1860s the area had grown sufficiently to support a hotel, racecourse, post office and churches.  A bark non-denominational church was built on the corner of Oxley Road and Bannerman Street (previously known as William Street and School Street). In 1891, an additional weatherboard building was erected as part of the church. It was used for Anglican and Presbyterian services. Following the closure of the church in the 1920s, the 1891 building was relocated to Sherwood to become part of a blacksmith's shop. In 1869, a floating sugar mill and cane crushing plant, named the ''Walrus'', was operating in Oxley Creek as well as other places. Oxley East Non-Vested School opened on 31 January 1870. In 1881, it was taken over by the Department of Public Instruction and renamed Oxley State School. A pre-school was opened on 5 September 1977. In the 1870s, small scale farming progressively diversified into dairying and other agricultural pursuits, for instance bacon processing. A small creamery was operating in 1873, most probably located near Factory Road in Oxley's south-east parts. By 1873 there were five churches operating: Anglican, Congregational, Presbyterian, Baptist and Methodist. In 1874, the Oxley railway station was opened on the

from Brisbane to Ipswich. This led to the establishment of a second subdivision in 1876, referred to as the Township of Oxley which was centred on the train station. It consisted of 140 allotments with the lower ones experiencing periodic inundation. In the same year the construction of the first police station was completed. Dairying became common in the area during the 1890s. The

Duporth Ladies School moved from Brisbane to Oxley in 1888, with the site of this school later becoming the location for an Ursuline Convent (1924–57) and the Canossa Hospital (1965). In June 1889, "Oxley Station Terraces Estate" made up of 145 allotments were advertised to be auctioned by T. A. Lawson & Co., auctioneers. A map advertising the auction contains a local sketch of the Estate. Newspaper advertisements for the auction state the Estate has splendid river frontage and is only five minutes' walk from Oxley Station.


20th century

A sailing club was established in 1902. By 1904, the "Bacon Factory" as it was locally known as, which produced not only bacon but also cheese, ham and other small goods was established. In 1911, due to regular flooding, the Oxley police station was moved to a site where the police academy currently is. The Oxley Progress Association was founded in 1917. It built the small hall in Station Road in 1924. It supported the establishment of the Oxley War Memorial. This community group was still active in the early 1990s. During this time the Darra cement works on the western edge of Oxley had plans for a major expansion. With the help of the Oxley Progress Association residents were successful in stopping this development. In the 1960s the group played a major role in the proclamation of Queensland's ''Clean Air Act''. The Oxley war memorial to the fallen was opened in 1920 and moved in 1980.  The firm of stonemasons which constructed this memorial was F. Williams & Co of
