Known for its theater, wine, and trails, Medford’s heart was forged by a bold move. In 1883, when neighboring Jacksonville declined the railroad, Medford was born along the tracks. Today, our downtown historic districts preserve this legacy of growth, blending our "gold rush" roots with a vibrant, ever-evolving future.
