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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBuncom: Crossroads Station\u003c\/i\u003e relates the history of this typical rural Oregon community from its beginning to the present.
