A majority of the land in Roxana is taken up by the Wood River Conoco-Phillips Wood River Refinery refinery; the refinery was built and originally owned by Royal Dutch Shell Oil and has also been owned by Premcor. A Baptist Church was organized in September 1921, and the land where the current First Baptist Church of Roxana now stands at the corner of Tydeman Street and Central Avenue was purchased in early 1922. More likely, the town owes its name to Roxana, one of the wives of Alexander the Great. As houses began being built close to the refinery, the population there grew to the point that in 1921, this unincorporated area became the incorporated Village of Roxana. It currently houses Roxana's Village President, Treasurer, Water Department, and Clerk's offices, the fire and police departments, the Village board room, and a municipal gymnasium.[http://www.roxana-il.org/history.htm] In the early 1940s, a large art deco style theater was built at the northwest corner of Thomas Street and Central Avenue, at 400 N.
