Oldham is named after the Oldham family, who were early landowners in the area. The name likely derives from Oldham’s Olde Ham, meaning "old home" or "old settlement." The town's history dates back to the Anglo-Saxon period, and its name reflects its long-standing presence in the region. Over time, Oldham developed into an important industrial center during the Industrial Revolution.
