Description

Medford, Oregon, pioneered aviation in Southern Oregon and has long enjoyed a reputation for being an air-minded city. When the City of Medford built Newell Barber Field in 1920, it established the primary municipally owned airfield within the state. In 1926, Pacific Air Transport selected Medford as a station for the West Coast airmail route. Whilst Portland’s airmail service used to be positioned around the river at Vancouver’s Pearson Field in Washington, Medford’s Newell Barber Field used to be Oregon’s only airmail stop. The 1920s secured Medford’s position as a leader within the growth of both civil and commercial aviation. When technology rendered the original field obsolete, the voters handily approved a new, cutting-edge field that has continued to expand and grow into a tremendous international airport and free trade zone, in a position to accommodating one of the most world’s largest aircrafts.
