Welcome to Phoenix...
In the 1850’s Phoenix was the hub of the Rogue Valley. The Rogue River Indian and Modoc Indian Wars, the Northwest gold rush, and the onset of the Civil War all played a part in the growth of this frontier town. The completion of the Oregon & California Railroad through Phoenix in 1887 improved travel and trade and made it possible for local agricultural products to reach markets across the country and the world. Fruit orchards, particularly pears, grew to become one of the leading industries. Phoenix has retained its small town atmosphere and still has access to rich farmlands, pristine forests with hunting, hiking, fishing and boating (just minutes away), and to award winning cultural activities.
