Hawley, Idaho

It's well-nigh impossible to do any effective searching for a feature named after a prominent governor, especially since there seem to be half a dozen other such features, but in any case the article text gives it away: it was and is a rail siding, and nothing more, sandwiched between two very large farms.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep Hawley once had a post office (or at least a postmaster at the time), had a railroad station that served nearby farms, and was cited as the residence of a woman in a 1912 newspaper. That seems like pretty solid evidence to me that this was at one point considerably more than a railroad siding. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 04:11, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep as per the information provided by TheCatalyst31. It was a real population center, important enough to have a post office. Being difficult to perform cursory research does not mean we should automatically waive the belief in the existence of such a topic. Oakshade (talk) 22:46, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
