Summary

[edit]
Description

Oak Bluff is an incorporated community located in the Rural Municipality of Macdonald, Manitoba, Canada. It is situated seven kilometers southwest of the City of Winnipeg, between Manitoba Highway (PTH) 3's intersections with PTH 100 (Perimeter Highway) and PTH 2. The community has a population of 1,051 as of the Canada 2016 census

Oak Bluff overlaps the Central Plains and Winnipeg Metro Regions. It is not part of the smaller Winnipeg census metropolitan area.

The Oak Bluff area was settled by British and Scottish settlers in the 1870s. Rail service arrived in the community in 1901 and a grain elevator was established soon after to serve the mainly agricultural area. Winnipeg's Perimeter Highway was constructed on the east side of the community in the 1950s, which greatly increased traffic through the area, as the highway is now part of the Trans-Canada Highway highway system. From 1960 to 1972, Oak Bluff was part of a region controlled by the City of Winnipeg under the Metropolitan Winnipeg Act, which led to commercial and industrial development in the area.

Between 2011 and 2016, the community's population increased from 581 to 1,051, the second largest percentage increase (80.9%) of any community in Manitoba.
