CATAWBA
Catawba began as a lumbering camp upon the construction of the railroad in 1884. Its name
was derived from Catawba wine, which was the popular drink of many local railroad workers
and lumbermen at the time. By 1910 the area boasted a sawmill, hotel, general store and a
variety of specialty shops. Residents of Catawba and nearby Kennan now celebrate Lumber-
man’s Day each year in honor of their first settlers. Today Catawba is home to approximately
149 residents.
KENNAN
Kennan was established as a railway station and named after K.K. Kennan who platted streets
in 1886. The community grew slowly and by 1890 it was home to 20 residents. Early businesses
included a sawmill, post office and newspaper office with W.W. Yarham serving as editor. As
the sawmill expanded, Kennan continued to develop. Today Kennan is home to approximately
171 residents.
P rice County was established in 1879 from parts of Lincoln and Chippewa Counties, and

GILMAN
Gilman was settled in 1902 as a rail station named in honor of Sally Gilman, who was the wife
