Interstate 5 North - Canyonville to Roseburg

The city of Roseburg began as a claim purchased by New Yorker Aaron Rose. Rose traveled west over the Applegate Trail and platted a town site in 1850. The settlement began as stop along the Oregon-California Trail, officially garnering its name of Roseburg in 1857. Incorporation followed in 1872, coinciding with the arrival of the O&C Railroad and growth of the local agricultural industry. Expansion of the city continued through the 20th century, with Roseburg established as an economic center for the timber industry. 2.8 million acres of commercial forest land surround Roseburg throughout Douglas County.
