History
The village was first settled by Henry Chamberlain in 1850 and became a village in 1867. The village was originally called Chamberlain's Siding but was changed to Three Oaks. These oak trees were a guidepoint for train engineers. None of the original three oak trees remain today; the last was cut down in the early 20th century.
Three Oaks' hometown pride is evident during its Flag Day Celebration in June. The celebration and Flag Day Parade is claimed to be the largest in the country.
