It says Oakland was created in 1902 out of Franklin Township. It may have come from Franklin, but it was founded in 1695, according to all of the "Welcome to Oakland" signs throughout the town. I fixed it. I live in Oakland, BTW. Cao Wei 20:44, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
I added some info in the Transportation section. (a little more detail and the addition of links to the (schedules)
I also added a external link to http://www.myoaklandnj.com (Personally I find it fun to read - heh)
My one concern is the content of the section of Commerce. I quote:
"There isn't much shopping in Oakland for a town of its size located right off a major interstate highway. "
To me this is an opinion and not a fact. IMHO there is plenty of shopping. This seems to try and point out someones opinion on "our" current downtown. I feel wikipedia should not be used in this manner.
I refuse to edit it myself since it is border line but would like hear some feed back.
Peace,

After actually looking at the edit logs - There was a lot more to this section (IE: the local retail business names at copper tree) as well as some more info. I'm new to editing wiki but some of the info is still prevalent. I still feel the opening line needs some work ;)

Over a year ago - wow :) I cleaned up the commerce section a bit (I hope) I tried to keep it on the same track. I know it needs more work - but figgured this would be ok for now. Jamoc74 ( talk) 06:14, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
I really don't see what's wrong with the way it is now, where no businesses are mentioned. If you're gonna mention some without proper citation, you need to mention others too.
Just out of curiosity, would the below be a good citation?

Referring to Oakland residents as "townies", seems a bit derogatory. Sounds like a term that might be used by an out of town "frat boy", describing the local yokels.
Suggest..."local residents", or at worst "Oaklanders". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.217.173.196 ( talk) 18:48, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
