This is only true in Munich, where Oktoberfest starts in September and ends in October. In many towns in Germany, Oktoberfest is celebrated on one Sunday in October.
The first "Oktoberfest" took place on October 12, 1810: For the commemoration of their marriage, Crown Prince Ludwig (later King Ludwig I) and Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen (hence: "Theresienwiese") organized a great horse race (the marriage took place on October 12th, the horse race on October 17th, therefore there are different dates named as being the first Oktoberfest).

ProfessorOktoberfest begins in September because the weather is more favorable during September in Munich, Germany, where the festival originated. September also allows for longer daylight hours, more availability in accommodations, and better harvest conditions for traditional festival foods and beverages.
