Winston is a city in Douglas County, Oregon, United States, located 7 miles southwest of Roseburg. [6] The population was 5,379 according to the 2010 United States Census. Winston is probably best-known as the home of Wildlife Safari.
In 1920, Oregon Route 99 was completed, directly linking Winston with the nearby community of Dillard, which had previously been separated by the Umpqua River.
In 1953, the city was incorporated under the name "Coos Junction". The first City Recorder (Gene Geyer) was employed. The following year, Paul Bender was appointed as the mayor of Coos Junction. In 1955, a new City Charter was approved, and the town was officially renamed to Winston.
The Wildlife Safari was opened in 1972. In 1986, a bronze statue was placed at the triangular junction in the center of town, in remembrance of Khayam, a cheetah from the safari who died of kidney failure.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 2.65 square miles (6.86 km2), all of it being land. [7]
Winston has a typical western Oregon Mediterranean climate (Köppen Csb), characterized by dry summers with cool mornings and hot afternoons, and chilly, rainy winters.
