Origin Notes and History of Town of Winthrop
References to Town of Winthrop that document the origin of its place name
WINTHROP, a village in the west central part of Okanogan County, was named by the late Senator John L Wilson, in 1890, when he was a Representative in Congress. In 1891, Guy Waring took the little postoffice into his log cabin and often asked Mr Wilson why he chose the name. He could not remember but thought it was probably in honor of Theodore Winthrop, which is now believed to be the case in that locality. (Guy Waring, in Names MSS. Letter 291.)
