Central Point, Oregon is a charming city nicknamed "The Fair City" with a rich history dating back to 1852 when Isaac Constant settled at what was then a crucial crossroads in the middle of the Rogue Valley. Today, this historic community has grown to 18,997 residents (as of 2020) spread across 3.94 square miles, with a diverse landscape that includes Griffin Creek, which joins Bear Creek within the city limits.
Central Point's strategic location has defined its character since Magruder Brothers opened a store at the crossroads around 1870, followed by a post office in 1872. Officially incorporated in 1889, our community has experienced remarkable growth periods – including a stunning 136.3% population increase between 1900-1910 and another 66.4% surge between 1990-2000. Now an integral part of the Medford metropolitan area, Central Point maintains its unique identity while sharing its southern border with Medford.
The city enjoys a warm-summer Mediterranean climate (classified as "Csb" on climate maps) and sits at an elevation of 1,273 feet. This pleasant environment supports our community's mix of residential neighborhoods, five public schools, and thriving businesses – from small local enterprises to larger employers like School District 6 (673 employees) and Costco (384 employees). Central Point is also known for hosting the Jackson County Fair each July and is home to award-winning Rogue Creamery cheeses, recognized internationally for their quality.
We understand that trees are essential to maintaining property values in our city, where the median household income was $40,622 according to the 2000 census.

Central Point's unique position along the Bear Creek Greenway—a biking and hiking trail that connects our city with Ashland, Talent, Phoenix, and Medford—highlights the importance of maintaining the ecological balance between urban development and natural spaces. As our community continues to evolve from its crossroads origins to a modern city with a diverse population (90.8% White, 9.0% Hispanic or Latino according to the 2010 census), preserving mature trees becomes increasingly important.
The tree canopy in Central Point provides essential habitat for local wildlife, reduces urban heat island effects in our neighborhoods, and helps manage stormwater runoff—critical in an area where Griffin Creek joins Bear Creek. For homeowners in the 6,975 housing units throughout our city, mature trees also offer significant energy savings by providing natural cooling during our dry summer months when temperatures rise.
Elite Crew Tree Service works with property owners to identify heritage trees and develop preservation plans that honor Central Point's natural history while accommodating necessary growth and development. From the neighborhoods near Crater Rock Museum to properties along the Central Oregon and Pacific Railroad corridor, we help maintain the natural character that makes our city special while addressing the practical needs of our 21st-century community.
Quality tree care is an investment in Central Point properties. Well-maintained trees can increase property values by up to $15,000 – significant in a community where only 6.6% of the population lives below the poverty line. Regular professional maintenance prevents costly emergency removals while ensuring safety for all residents.
