A little bit about Creswell

Creswell was first settled in 1872. Two settlers, James Robinett and Alvin Hughes settled on five-acre land donations.

In 1873 Ben Halladay of the Oregon-California Railroad named the city after the US Postmaster General and the city received a post office.

The first industry in Creswell was a grist mill. By the turn of the century agriculture had taken off in the area with nearly 5,000 acres of orchards in the area.

When the city was incorporated in 1909 farms in the area produced wheat, cattle, hogs, fruit, and more. There was also a cannery, a fruit dryer, and a packing plant in town.

Since the 1930’s Creswell has grown rather consistently mainly due to its transportation links including US Highway-99 then Interstate-5 and a rail line. Creswell has a population of nearly 4,000 and it is 547 feet above sea level.
