Talk:Washburn, North Dakota

== Tractor Trek =

Having lived in Washburn for 24 years and counting, the subheading 'tractor trek' was so inaccurate that it must have been some kind of vandalism. Hereby removed. Lawrencethomas3 (talk) 00:52, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Name
According to the city website the name honors Cadwallader C. Washburn. The source previously cited mistakenly claims that the city's namesake is Gen. W. D. Washburn. C. C. Washburn was a general, whereas W. D. was not - the source from 1938 simply got the initials wrong. I change to Cadwallader. 128.214.69.131 (talk) 13:39, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
