Clifford B. Harmon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clifford B. Harmon born July 1, 1866, Urbana, Ohio, died June 25, 1945, Cannes, France, was a wealthy real estate developer and aviator. He founded the International League of Aviators (Ligue Internationale des Aviateurs) and was the sponsor of the Harmon Trophy.
Harmon's real estate success came from developing suburban New York, New York villages, such as Pelhamwood and Harmon-on-Hudson (incorporated into Croton-on-Hudson, New York in 1932).[1]
Among other things, the Metro North Railroad station Croton-Harmon and the Croton-Harmon School District are named after Harmon.
