Central Point, OR

Central Point is a Jackson County city in southern Oregon, just north of Medford. Pioneer Isaac Constant named it for its location at a crossroads in the Rogue Valley, where routes between early settlements met. That central location still makes sense today: Central Point sits near Interstate 5, the Medford airport, and regional employers. The city is also home to the Crater Rock Museum, along with businesses such as Erickson Air Crane. It has a practical Rogue Valley feel, with agriculture, transportation, and services close together.
