- For the census-designated place, see Oxoboxo River (CDP).
The Oxoboxo River is a tributary of the Thames River in New London County, Connecticut. It flows roughly 6 miles (9.7 km) in a southeasterly direction from its source at Oxoboxo Lake and its confluence with the Thames. It has a watershed of 6,768 acres (27.39 km), 87% of which is in the town of Montville.
The Oxoboxo was an important source of water power for colonial settlement and 19th-century industrial development in Montville. The first sawmill on the river was established in the 1653. As of the 1880s, the river supplied power for 15 cotton, woolen, and paper mills.
