The Fred Harvey Company was the owner of the Harvey House chain of restaurants, hotels and other hospitality industry businesses alongside railroads in the Western United States. It was founded in 1876 by Fred Harvey to cater to the growing number of train passengers.
When Harvey died in 1901, his family inherited 45 restaurants and 20 dining cars in 12 states.[1] During World War II, Harvey Houses opened again to serve soldiers as they traveled in troop trains across the U.S.[2] By 1968, when it was sold to Amfac, Inc. (now Xanterra Parks and Resorts, as of 2002), the Fred Harvey Company was the sixth largest food retailer in the United States.[3] It left behind a lasting legacy of good food, dedication to customers, decent treatment of employees, and preservation of local traditions.[4][5]
