o o o o Greatest Increase in County Population From 1900 to 1910 Populatioiyn Jackson coun ty has increased between 10 8 per cent each decade since 1870 withQthe exception of one Imyear period, figures from the bureau of municipal research and service, Uni versity of Oregon, show. A county census in 1860 showed a population of 3,736. -Three years later, the popula- tion was 4,778, an incffease of 27.9 per cent. During the? -period of 1900-1910, Vie coun- ty had its greatest growth, from 13,698 to 25,756, an in crease of 8 percent. But in the next decade, 1910-1920, the population decreased 20.8 per cent, from 25,756 to AO, 405. 22.6 Per Cent Incsfsf - Between 1950, whenPthere were 58,510 people living in the countyPand 1957c when there were an estimated 71,- 750, the population increased 22.6 per cent. 0 Jackson county was orgin ally creatoy, from Umpqua county in 1852.

That was Jacksonville where there were 892 residents. There apparently was a fed eral census taken in Ashland in . 1870, but no separate re turn was forwarded in the census report of the county. Two more towns were ad ded to the county's towns in 1880. They were Ashland with 842 residents, and Phoenix with 277 people. Medford is first listed in the census in 1880 having 967 residents. Al so in 1890, Central Point was first listed with 534 residents. A federal census in 1900 included Gold Hill, which then had 385 people, Jackson ville, Ashland, Phoenix, Med ford, Central Point, and Gold Hill populations were listed in following census, but it wasn't until 1920 that other county communities were list ed. The census in 1920 added four more towns to the coun ty. They were Butte Falls, 166 people; Eagle Point, 128; Talent, 278, and Rogue River, 211. Cities in Jackson county continued to grow each dec ade except between 1910 and 1920. During that period, all towns listed in the federal census showed a decline in population.

Lightning that accompanied th rein caused only one fire, according to the forest serv ice, and that was a small one on the north fork of Ditch creefc in the Cottonwood area bid of Hornbrook.
