ZIP Code: 04963 Location Characteristics: Oakland is the Gateway to the Belgrade Lakes Region! Oakland, neighboring Waterville to the west, is the gateway to the well-known Belgrade Lakes. Three major bodies of water in the Belgrade Lakes chain dominate the landscape, providing many opportunities for water-related activities. The attractiveness of the lakes makes it easy to see why the town has one of the largest concentrations of summer camps for children in all of Maine. It was soon apparent that the town's tumbling Messalonskee Stream would draw industries to take advantage of this considerable source of water power. A front runner in recognizing environmental issues, Oakland was one of the first towns in the state to build a municipal sewerage treatment facility. Among attractions is the Memorial Hall on Church Street, built by Civil War veterans, and the Octagon House on Summer Street at the northerly end of Messalonskee Lake. Private homes range from stately New England classics to cape and ranch homes. The town has a reputation for some of the finer schools in the entire state and for its fiscally conservative municipal government. Preparing for the future, Oakland has a comprehensive plan to promote organized development and a full range of municipal services. Because of its proximity to Interstate 95 and prime development areas, Oakland is the site for FirstPark - Maine's Premier Technology Center. Billed as the first of its kind in Maine, this high tech park will provide suitable locations for the emerging businesses of the 21st century. Once complete, FirstPark will provide 2,500 direct jobs and an equal number generated by ancillary businesses. OAKLAND, A GREAT PLACE TO LOCATE OR VISIT!
