Southwest Oregon Cities

The largest city on southwest Oregon is Medford. It is on Interstate-5 about 30 mi. north of the Oregon/California State Line and 270 mi. south of Portland. Medford is world renowned for its pears and other agricultural products.

In recent years Medford has gone through somewhat of a transformation from agricultural to a tourist center. That doesn’t mean it has left its agricultural base behind it just means it has added malls, begin restoring its historic downtown and other attractions for the tourist.

It is interesting how the wine industry has expanded on the west coast. The winemakers and vineyards have also found the Medford area.
