Oaks is an unincorporated community in Bee County, in the U.S. state of Texas. It is located within the Beeville micropolitan area.
The area in what is now known as Oaks today was first settled in the late 1800s. There were two mills in the community in the mid-1930s. Many residents left after World War II, but the community had two businesses and several scattered homes as late as the mid-1960s. It was classified as a "dispersed farming community" in 2000.[1]
Oaks is located on Texas State Highway 72, 21miles northwest of Beeville,[1] and 4miles southwest of Pawnee in northwestern Bee County.[2]
Schoolchildren in the Oaks community attended County Line School in the mid-1930s.[1] Today, the community is served by the Pawnee Independent School District.
