JJ Hills Fresh
Grill is named
for James Jerome
Hill, the “Empire
Builder” who
first brought the
railroad through
Leavenworth.
Arguably the most
colorful of all
transcontinental
railroads was the
Great Northern.
Even today, more
than 30 years
after the
merger with
the Burlington
Northern, the
“Big G” is still
a favorite of
railroad fans the
world over .

Many towns and
cities owe their
very existence
to James J. Hill
and his driving
ambition to
forge through
the Cascade
Mountains
in order to
complete his
dream of a
northern
transcontinental
railroad.
Leavenworth is
just such a town.
Built solely
around the
Great Northern
Railroad’s east
side entrance
to the Cascade
Mountains, the
town was platted
in 1893 by a group
of Financiers
headed by
“Captain” Charles
F. Leavenworth.

From the very
beginning the
heart of the
town was the
Great Northern
Railroad with
its depot and
roundhouse.
For years
Leavenworth
prospered due to
railroad money
in the form of
employees hired
for construction
through the
Cascades. With
the employees
came their
families and
families needed
schools,
churches, and all
numbers of daily
household goods.
The railroad
required timber
for their rails
and bridges.

Because of the
railroad the
abundance of
timber in the
Northwest could
now reach the
unquenchable
markets in the
Midwest and East
coast. A large
lumber mill was
built adjacent to
the railroad for
convenience in
shipping.
Leavenworth’s
place in history
is truly owed to
the legendary
railroad tycoon,
James J. Hill.
