Fred Harvey
Known as the "Civilizer of the West," Fred Harvey helped make the West more comfortable for travelers. An immigrant from England, he started his first restaurant in 1876 in Topeka, Kansas. Eventually, his businesses included restaurants, hotels, newsstands and dining cars on the Santa Fe Railway. Xanterra, the primary concessioner on the South Rim, continues to maintain the Fred Harvey tradition of fine hospitality.
