The city's cultural identity is deeply intertwined with its industrial history, reflected in its technical museums and cultural institutions.
During World War II, Oyonnax gained historical significance for its resistance activities, notably the famous parade of December 11, 1943, which demonstrated local resistance against German occupation.
