According to Preserve America:
The City of Delaware is the seat of Ohio's Delaware County and has a population of approximately 26,500. Originally home to the Mound Builders, and later to Delaware and other Indian tribes, Delaware's earliest American settlement dates from 1808.
During the War of 1812, Delaware served as the headquarters of General William Henry Harrison. Settlers poured into the area after 1814; they included the parents of future President Rutherford B. Hayes, who was born in Delaware and met his future wife Lucy Webb at local Ohio Wesleyan University.
And if that weren't enough, according to Kent State University's track and field site, Delaware was the host to the All Ohio cross country meet this year. Here Kent runner Kyle Paul crosses the finish line. I couldn't resist the urge to look on while some real runners did their stuff.

Hi there! Delaware is also the location of the USDA Forest Service Northeastern Research Station!!
So how long do you think it will take for you to get over here to Oxford?
I think it's a little over 100 more miles, and I'm making about 30 miles a week. So call it a month, or so.
So, where's a good place to eat in Oxford?
