So What Is "Oracle", Anyway?

  It’s not a “city” or a “town”.  To qualify as either, boundaries must be set and a local government incorporated.  So what the heck is it?
  Oracle is a place identified on a map of indeterminate location.  The Oracle Fire District has boundaries.  The Oracle School District has boundaries.  We have an Oracle Post Office, a shared justice court and a shared zip code.  What does this add up to? 

The Good Ship Oracle

  Oracle isn’t defined by any lines.  It’s something else entirely different. The bottom line is Oracle is a figment of residents’ (and some visitors’) imaginations.  Made up out of whole cloth from stories residents have told themselves beginning more than a century ago. Oracle is a civic life form sustained by local hopes, dreams, and real world accomplishments.  It is quite literally a story town living on energy derived from stories told and retold.
