History edit
In 1904, the Louisville and Nashville Railroad came through the area and established a station named "Medford" after a family who lived near the station. In 1928, U.S. Route 25W was built through the community, which increased the population of Medford.[3] The community had a school from around 1900 until 1989, when the school was sold and the students were transferred to Lake City Elementary School in Rocky Top.[4]
