Roseburg, County seat in Douglas County, Oregon
Roseburg is the county seat of Douglas County in Oregon, United States, situated along both banks of the South Umpqua River amid forested hills. Interstate 5 runs centrally through the town at an elevation of roughly 161 meters (530 feet) above sea level.
Aaron Rose started a homestead in 1851 after arriving from Coldwater, Michigan. The settlement grew around his farm and later took the name of its first resident.
The town spreads across the South Umpqua River valley, where neighborhoods and shops line both riverbanks. Locals use the river for fishing and recreation, while the streets host small cafes and family-run stores.
The nearest airport with scheduled flights is in Eugene, roughly 130 kilometers (80 miles) north of town. Regional buses connect the area to neighboring communities, while the interstate provides access north and south.
A truck loaded with dynamite exploded in the town center in 1959, destroying buildings across roughly eight blocks. The event became known as the Roseburg Blast and remains part of local memory.
