Roseburg, County seat in Douglas County, Oregon
Roseburg extends across both sides of the South Umpqua River, with Interstate 5 running through the center of this mountainous settlement at 161 meters elevation.
Aaron Rose established his homestead in 1851 after relocating from Coldwater, Michigan, leading to the foundation and naming of the present-day city.
The city maintains strong international bonds through sister city partnerships with Aranda de Duero in Spain, Kuki in Japan, and Kermanshah in Iran.
The nearest commercial flight services operate from Eugene Airport, situated 81 miles from Roseburg, while local transportation includes regional bus services.
An explosion of a truck carrying dynamite in 1959 destroyed buildings within an eight-block radius, marking a significant event known as the Roseburg Blast.
