Welcome to the City of Medford, Oregon!
Medford owes its origin in the early 1880's to the decision of the Oregon & California Railroad to run its line through the center of the Bear Creek Valley. It was at the "middle ford" of Bear Creek that the railroad, working south from Portland, planned to cross the stream and start a new town.
