The South Coast railway was extended through Oxenford, from Beenleigh to Southport, in 1889, and the station was about 1.5 km south of the river. There was also a ferry on the river, and the Oxenford Hotel was on the south bank. By the 1930s a village had formed near the hotel, along with a Catholic church. The post office directory (1949) also recorded two bank agencies and two motor garages at Oxenford; a road bridge (1930) over the Coomera River had brought the motor-car age to Oxenford.
