Many immigrants from Cardiganshire, Wales, had previously settled in the area, with the first arriving in the Gallia/ Jackson County area in 1818 and many more in the late 1830s and 1840s- an era referred to as "The Great Welsh Tide". Several Welsh churches were constructed in the Oak Hill Area in the 19th Century, with some of them conducting services in the Welsh Language in to the 1920s. The Welsh-American Heritage Museum is located in the former Welsh Congregational Church on East Main St in the village.
Oak Hill's early industrial history included Jefferson Furnace (which is acclaimed for producing Iron for the Iron Clad Monitor) being located a couple miles west of the Village and other iron furnaces being located in the surrounding region. The Firebrick Industry began developing in the Oak Hill area in the 1870s and had a profound impact on the village economically into the mid 20th Century. Few firebrick related businesses operate in the Oak Hill area to date.
The Oak Hill Union Local School District was formed around 1890, with the first graduating class of Oak Hill High School being the Class of 1893.

A new baseball field, and then a new softball field were built several years later. The Oak Hill High School Boys Basketball Team were the Division IV State Champions in 2009.
