Medford is a city in Jackson County, Oregon, United States. As of 2006, the city had a total population of 73,960. The city was named in the 1880s by David Loring, a civil engineer working for the Oregon and California Railroad for his home town of Medford, Massachusetts and in honor of its position on the middle ford of the Bear Creek. Medford is the county seat of Jackson County.

Over the last 10 years, Medford has experienced a significant residential building boom and a resurgence of downtown Medford has accompanied that growth. A restored Ginger Rogers Craterian Theater, new library, dozens of restored buildings, two parking structures, an urban plaza, and residential lofts are now all part of downtown Medford. Several other projects are in planning or under way to further improve the image of the city.

Points of interest: Claire Hanley Arboretum, Medford Carnegie Library, and Joseph H. Stewart State Recreation Area - 35 miles northeast of Medford on the Rogue River.

In 1997, Grants Pass-based Rogue Community College completed construction on a 7-building campus spanning 5 blocks right in the heart of downtown Medford.
