Wonder, Oregon

Wonder is an unincorporated community in Josephine County, Oregon, United States, on U.S. Route 199 about 13 miles west of Grants Pass and 8 miles east of Selma.

The town apparently got its name in 1902 after John T. Roberson opened a general store two miles south of Wilderville, and residents wondered how he would get enough business to make a living as the area did not have many settlers.

[2] As of 1916 there was a Wonder station on the California and Oregon Coast Railroad line here.

[4] A private airfield, Wonder Airport, is located nearby.
