City of Menlo

 
Date Visited:   Sunday, October 7, 2001
City Visited #:   85
County:   Pacific
Visited With:   Michelle & Ballard Jen
City Name History:   Northern Pacific construction crews selected Preston as the name for a station on the Willapa Harbor Branch line. It was rejected as a duplication of another station's name, so the crew borrowed the sign "Menlo Park" from a real estate development down the track, broke off the Park portion, and rechristened Preston as Menlo.
