477:." This coincided with a report from NCPPC identifying Oxon Run as a possible water source for Maryland. The report stated that a sewer would be needed through the valley to protect the waters of Oxon Run from pollution. After a 1937 flood of Oxon Run, NCPPC decided to widen the parkway by purchasing more land in the valley between the District line and the Camp Simms rifle range. This prevented the construction of homes in the floodplain and allowed for the construction of the sewer project, the Oxon Run interceptor, that was completed in 1939. NCPC continued buying land in the valley from 1939 to 1944. By the end of 1944, the Parkway extended across the entire District, with the exception of the portion within Camp Simms. The use of the Camp Simms firing range ended in 1953 due to urban encroachment. In 1958, the Defense Department transferred the land to the General Services Administration, and later 94 acres of the site was added to the Oxon Run Parkway. In the 1960s an unlined landfill was constructed along the east bank just south of South Capitol Street which was intended to become recreational space but never did.
456:. The U.S. Army built forts on the hills above Oxon Run, and the expansion of the population of the city led to the extension of formal roads into the valley. Wheeler Road, named for Colonel J.H. Wheeler, was extended across the stream in 1870, and two years later the first bridge was built across it to serve the road. Additional roads and bridges were built across the stream around the same time forming Marlboro Road, Suitland Road, Livingston Mill Road (later shortened to Livingston Road and then partially renamed Atlantic Avenue) and Walker Road (later named Naylor Road). All were built during the post Civil War boom and all were in place by 1878.

Pennsylvania Avenue, the stream was realigned and placed in a concrete-line channel. After Tropical Storm Agnes caused extensive flooding in the valley in 1972, 2,800 feet of the stream was dredged. The largest channelization project came in 1978 and 1979 when the D.C. Stormwater Management Authority constructed a 7,920 foot long, concrete-lined channel for the stream from 13th Street, SE to South Capitol Street. More recently, in 1995, WMATA stabilized and realigned the channel near the Suitland Parkway to allow construction of the piers for the

Road). By 1953, M-NCPPC had acquired 5 acres along the stream in
Maryland and planned to acquire another 367. 17 additional acres were purchased in 1955 and that land used to build the Hillcrest Heights Recreation Center. In 1961, M-NCPPC acquired the Oxon Run Golf Course, located on the north side of Oxon Run between 23rd and 28th Avenue in Hillcrest Heights, and operated it until it was closed in June 1986. The 9-hole course, the first public one in Prince George's County, was built in 1954.

Within the District, Oxon Run was contained within Washington County until the whole of the District was unified in 1871. There were dozens of properties and many owners in the valley, some of whose names are reflected in local street names, most notably Wheeler Road and Livingston Road.

Memorial Cemetery was established just south of the Cedar Hill Cemetery on the south side of Suitland Road. It was the second cemetery in the Washington area to admit African-Americans and is the oldest one remaining. Quarter Avenue in Maryland was built across the stream before 1938. Even with these changes, the watershed remained predominantly rural until World War II.

officials began planning improvements in the Park but did not complete those plans until 1984 because of funding limitations. The plan called for several miles of jogging and bike trails, picnic areas, ball fields, an amphitheater, basketball and tennis courts, and a nature trail. Work began in 1984 and included five pedestrian bridges over the stream. Between 2016 and 2017, the trail system was expanded and rehabilitated.

After passing under South Capitol Street, it flows through a natural channel between NPS's forested Bald Eagle Hill and a former landfill site owned by D.C. Just inside the D.C.

While the land around it was preserved, Oxon Run was channelized and straightened for flood control. Sections near the

Meanwhile, the construction of the Oxon Run Sewer
Interceptor in the 1930s and the World War II population growth enabled another housing boom in the Oxon Run valley and a road network expansion. Town centers at Silver Hill, Suitland, and Dupont Heights filled the watershed with urban and suburban

Following World War II, the preservation of the valley was extended into

Until the 20th century, the Oxon Run watershed was a lightly settled valley filled with plantations, farms, and orchards. Initially a part of Maryland, it was split between the District of Columbia and Maryland when the former was created in 1800. In 1855 much of it was owned by the District's

In 1971, the land between 13th Street and South Capitol became Oxon Run Park. It was placed under the control of the District government. At the same time, the land between 13th and Southern Avenue remained the Oxon Run Parkway under the management of the National Park Service. In 1975, local

Oxon Run was originally a meandering riffle-pool-type sequence stream with a gravel or sand bed. However, in the 20th century, it was changed by flood control projects and significant urbanization of its watershed. In addition, many of its tributaries have been converted to storm drains.
368:
In early maps, the stream was usually called "Oxen Run"; in 1892, the U.S. Geological Survey still labeled the stream as "Oxen Run" on its maps. Late that year, they changed the spelling they used, and others followed suit, though it's unclear what led to the spelling change.
