Applegate is an unincorporated community in Jackson County, Oregon, United States. It is west of Medford on Oregon Route 238 and the Applegate River. The community was probably named for Lindsay Applegate, who, along with his brothers Jesse and Charles, explored the Applegate Valley while blazing the Applegate Trail.[http://ncbible.org/nwh/OrJackson.html Pioneer Churches in Jackson County] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060910210959/http://ncbible.org/nwh/OrJackson.html |date=September 10, 2006 }} at the [http://ncbible.org Northwest College of the Bible] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060715225951/http://ncbible.org/ |date=July 15, 2006 }}
