Close

In 1950, it had a population of 2,000. In 1958, Nonconnah Creek just to the north of Oakville, came very close to being the southern boundary of Memphis. Oakville was located along the SLSF railway, about five miles northeast of the Capleville community.

Oakville has since been annexed by Memphis as part of that city's expansion.^{[citation needed]}
