Oghuzlar, with its historical name Karabörk Divanı, was a village called Karaviran in İskilip, but in 1964 its name was changed to Karaören and became a town. On May 9, 1990, it became a district of Çorum province under the name Oğuzlar. It is 54 km away from Çorum city center. The population of the District Center is 2876. 1388 of the center's population are men and 1488 are women. The total population of the District/Town/Village is 2376. Kızılırmak river forms the border with Laçin. The municipality was established in 1965. The first mayor is Hasan Özoğlu. While the Mayor was working as a teacher in Mecitözü district, the town of Karaören became a municipality and a team led by Mustafa Sunnetçi brought Hasan Özoğlu to Karaören to serve as the mayor. The city water distribution system was built in 1973. The people of the Oghuz district make their living from activities such as walnut, rice cultivation, grain varieties, small-scale animal husbandry, and to a lesser extent beekeeping, etc., but they started to have a say in various professions as the young population went out due to unemployment. His areas of expertise have manifested themselves in various branches such as cooking, waitressing, construction and soil industry. Oğuzlar district has a rugged terrain and its altitude is 650 meters. Kızılırmak, which passes through the district borders, gives life to the district until the dam construction works begin. Due to the dam works, there has been a rapid migration out of the district in recent years.
