Henry Randolph Holbrook was born November 22, 1838 in Columbia, Conn. He was the chief engineer for the Atlantic Pacific Railroad. John Young, who was a grading contractor for the railroad, named the town of Holbrook, AZ after Mr. Holbrook on September 24, 1881. That was the day the last spike was driven completing the railroad through town. Henry Randolph Holbrook retired from the railroad April 1890. He moved to Pueblo, Colorado where he made his home until he died in 1907 at the age of 69.
