Welcome to Oran ...So far, we found very little information about Oran. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1> We've added Oran to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Oran - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Oran, please Contact Us. While we don't have the exact location of Oran , we believe that it would have been located within present day Otero County<2>. While we don't have a date for the founding of Oran, you might consider that their post office opened in 1904. Time Zone: The area where Oran was located is in the Mountain Time Zone (MST/MDT) and observes daylight saving time If Oran still existed, it would have been in the (575) area code. Communities Also Named Oran ...Using our Gazetteer, we found that there are 7 communities that are also named Oran - they are located in Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Missouri, New York, Ohio and Texas. For more information, see our Tidbits & Trivia Page for Oran. Adding Oran to Our Gazetteer ...We originally found mention of Oran in the GNIS.
