Oracle Junction was originally a service station called Walnut Service Station, along the main road between Tucson and Phoenix.[4] It was renamed Oracle Junction Service Station in 1926, and Oracle Junction developed in the area around it. During the 1930s the area hosted rodeos on Independence Day weekend.[4]
The area had its own fire district, created in 1980.[5]
On January 1, 1996, Oracle Junction Fire District merged with Catalina Fire District and Golder Ranch Fire District the three districts became a larger Golder Ranch Fire District.[6]
