= Tractor Trek[edit]

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)[reply]

Name[edit]

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)[reply]
