Historical Image of La Posada
Named after Edward F. Winslow, a railroad executive, in 1881, Winslow, Arizona became a vital junction between Gallup and Flagstaff in the American Southwest. The Fred Harvey Company decided to open an inn at this junction.

Historical Image of La Posada
“Harvey Girls” was the nickname for unmarried women who took hospitality jobs nationwide for the Fred Harvey Company, most often as waitresses, beginning in the late 1800s. A Harvey Girl had to be between the ages of 18 and 20, sign a contract to stay in the job for about a year, and reside in company dormitories under the watchful eye of a “housemother.” Called by the promise of adventure and decent wages, young women from the East and Midwest made their way westward to restaurants and hotels like La Posada, and many made permanent homes in these areas.

Harvey “houses” became essential waypoints on the Santa Fe Railway line, catering to travelers drawn west by curiosity as much as necessity. By the beginning of the 20th century, Fred Harvey and the railroad had begun marketing the American Southwest promoting pueblos, mesas, canyons, and deserts as cultural destinations, accessible through carefully planned rail itineraries and guided excursions.
