Brockway, Oregon

Brockway is an unincorporated community in Douglas County, Oregon, United States, on Oregon Route 42, about nine miles southwest of Roseburg.

Originally known as Civil Bend, referring to the "...boisterous activity of visitors to the horseraces," the name was changed in 1889 when postal authorities objected to a name with two words. "Brockway" was chosen in honor of local farmer and pioneer B. B. Brockway.
