Oxbow is an unincorporated community in Baker County, Oregon, United States.[1] Oxbow is along Oregon Route 86 next to the Snake River near the Oxbow Dam on the Oregon-Idaho border, about 17 miles (27 km) northeast of Halfway.[2] Oxbow is just south of the site of the former mining town of Copperfield.[2] Oxbow has a post office with a ZIP code 97840.[3]

There was once a station named Oxbow on a portion of the Oregon Short Line Railroad now inundated by Oxbow Reservoir.[4][5] It was named for The Oxbow, a U-shaped bend in the Snake River named for the agricultural implement.[4][6] The present-day community of Oxbow was established in the early 1960s near the former site of Copperfield during the building of the Oxbow Dam by the Idaho Power Company.[4] Oxbow post office was established on May 1, 1965, after moving the office from Homestead six miles to the north.[4] At one time, Oxbow had a school.[7]
