BUNCOM, OREGON
Buncom is the last remaining Ghost Town in Southern Oregon.
Located 20 miles southwest of Medford near the confluence of
Sterling Creek and the Little Applegate River, Buncom was first
settled by gold miners in the late 1850s and 1860s. Later, it was
the supply center for the farmers, ranchers and loggers living in
the Little Applegate Valley. Today, its abandoned buildings remain
as a symbol of a simpler past, and a focus for the rural residents
who live nearby.
"Buncom: Crossroads Station" relates the history of this typical
rural Oregon community from its beginning to the present. In
addition, it places local events in the context of the outside
world. Even in their peaceful isolation, Buncom's pioneers--like
those in other communities--were affected and influenced by the
trends and forces that were shaping the globe.
Both authors live at Buncom. Connie Fowler writes for regional
and local publications. J.B. Roberts is a rancher.
The Buncom Historical Society, publisher of this book, is a
non-profit Oregon corporation dedicated to preserving the remaining
buildings at Buncom and their history. Its membership is made up of
nearby residents and others who care about Buncom as a symbol of
our past.
