Incorporated in 1885, the muddy railroad town of Medford established residentially due to it’s “Orchard Boom.”  The city later became an aviation leader with it’s first public airport in the 1920s, delivering mail.

Later during WWII, there was the establishment of Camp White, the lumber industry increased greatly and there  was an expansion of the regional medical services. All of this happened during the 1920s. Some of these industries have kept residents in Medford employed for many years till today.
