A Brief History of Eagle Point

The town has a long history beginning with the westward migration in 1852.  Seven years before Oregon would become a state, the Little Butte Creek area was settled by adventurers hoping to make a new home in this unchartered territory.  Soon, mills, businesses, and schools were built, and a community began to thrive.  These newcomers found the land very suitable for successful farming, and orchards were planted throughout the area.  Apples, pears, and other fruits are still a mainstay of Southern Oregon commerce.  In 1945, highway 63 was paved, providing an easy way for people to travel to the Upper Rogue and Crater Lake and increasing tourism to our town.

Honoring our Nation

Our dedication to what makes America great stands out throughout the year in Eagle Point.  From the Avenue of the Flags you’ll see on every national holiday to parades honoring those who have served or continue to serve our country; we are proud to support all who sacrificed to make our country our home.  Just off our property, you can visit Oregon’s only national cemetery–a beautiful surrounding to honor our nation’s veterans.
