Oakdale--my hometown! I know they put together a historical book together about the town just a few years ago (my dad worked on it with other native Oakdale-ites). I'd suggest calling the Oakdale Borough office (724-693-9740) to get a copy! It's full of everything you probably want to know (and more).

For more current information, City-Data has a page on Oakdale: http://www.city-data.com/city/Oakdale-Pennsylvania.html

Oakdale also has a website: Welcome To Oakdale Borough.com I've contacted the editor on more than one occasion, and he's been extremely helpful too.

Good luck and let me know what you find! By the way, why the interest in Oakdale?

Thank you so much. I am writing a book about Pennsylvania & have been having a hard to finding information about some of the smaller communities. Your information will be a huge help. Marlene
