Grants Pass

city, seat (1886) of Josephine county, southwestern Oregon, U.S., on the Rogue River, in the Klamath Mountains, 25 miles (40 km) northwest of Medford. A stage stop on the Sacramento-Portland overland route, it was named to commemorate Union General Ulysses S. Grant's victory at Vicksburg and developed after the Oregon and California (later Southern Pacific) Railroad established a station there in 1883.
