Oakfield is a former unincorporated community in Audubon County, Iowa, United States, located half a mile east of Brayton.
History The first store was built in Oakfield in 1855, and the town's name was suggested by a resident who originally came from Oakfield, New York. The first school was built in 1858. When the railroad passed through Brayton, however, it began to decline. By 1929, it had been reduced to only a general store and a few houses.(5 December 1929).
