A Washington, Idaho & Montana railroad station 9
miles east of Potlatch, platted and dedicated
May 28, 1906. Named by Homer W. Canfield, who
owned much land along WI&M location. For his
cooperation during construction, the Company
proposed to honor him by naming the station Canfield.
He did not consent to the proposal, but assumed that
he could choose a name; he chose Harvard. This set
the patten for college names along the line.
