Another non-notable railroad waypoint being falsely called a community; no information found. Reference 4 is the only mention of Farron that could be found anywhere, and its statement "the town never grew large enough for a post office" is boilerplate text that the NPRRHS inserted in many entries on minor railroad stations. Coordinates locate to empty farmland today. Complete failure of WP:GNG and WP:GEOLAND. PROD was declined on the basis of geographic nominations being controversial.

- Delete. All the sources I've seen indicate this was a rail station only. Google Books turns up a number of atlases listing it as a rail station with a population of X, indicating a rail site only. The 1959 Yakima County Plat Map shows Farron was a rail site without any street grid or even a subdivided area. There are no population figures for Farron in the 1940, 1910, 1900, or 1920 census. There's no mention of Farron in county histories. There are a few mentions in books of how many bushels of crops were shipped from the Farron station. No post office, school, church, or cemetery, that I can find. A redirect to Harrah, Washington, one mile to the west, isn't even merited, IMO. Firsfron of Ronchester 04:13, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
