 The first inhabitants of what would become Oak Hill were the Timucuan Indians, who lived along the shore from "circa" 2000 BC to 1500 AD, when European settlers started to arrive.In 1564, the French illustrator, Jacques LeMoyne, made a map showing an Indian village named Surruque el Viejo near el Baradero de Suroc.The name "Oak Hill" seems to have been first used by seasonal northern loggers "circa" 1850.
