Oakland is a village in Burrillville, Providence County, Rhode Island, United States formerly home to various manufacturers in the 19th century. It is wholly or partly included in the Oakland Historic District, a historic district listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Students in this district attend Burrillville Middle and High School. Oakland is a small, yet beautiful community hidden in the top left corner of Rhode Island. Oakland offers many woodland areas and rivers. The small town relies on volunteer firefighters. Each day a town whistle sounds from the Oakland-Mapleville Fire Department at five-o'clock pm, as well as each time fire personnel is in need. Many historic mills are scattered throughout the town, as well as mill-style neighborhoods.
