Oise, Administrative department in Hauts-de-France, France
The Oise department spans across northern France with four main districts: Beauvais, Clermont, Compiègne, and Senlis, covering both urban areas and countryside.
The department was established on March 4, 1790, during the French Revolution as part of a national territorial reorganization to improve regional administration.
Each district of Oise maintains distinct local traditions through regular festivals that celebrate regional foods, crafts, and historical reenactments throughout the year.
The department connects to Paris through an extensive network of railways and highways, making it accessible for both residents and visitors from the capital.
The Oise River, which gives the department its name, flows through the territory and has shaped the development of settlements along its banks.
