Oyonnax, Administrative division in eastern France.

The commune of Oyonnax sits in a valley of the Jura Mountains near the Parc naturel régional du Haut-Jura, along the river Ange.

From a small village with 52 inhabitants in 1601, Oyonnax grew into an industrial center after obtaining exclusive rights to manufacture wooden combs.

The Museum of the Comb and Plastics Industry documents the transformation of Oyonnax from a wooden comb manufacturing center to a plastic industry hub.

The town connects to major cities through the A404 motorway and maintains a railway station on the line between Montréal-la-Cluse and Andelot-en-Montagne.

Oyonnax Rugby team has achieved multiple promotions to Division 1 Top 14, competing at the Stade Charles-Mathon with a capacity of 11,400 seats.
