Best Answer

real estate entrepreneur Clifford Harmon acquired much of the Van Cortlandt property in 1903 to develop a country retreat for artists, writers and musicians, among them Wagnerian soprano Lillian Nordica. The Playhouse Clifford Harmon built enjoyed more than a decade of success, with guests such as Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks. Around that time electric trains began operating on the Hudson Line out of Grand Central Terminal. Harmon sold the property on the neck of Croton Point to NY Central Railroad for a train yard with the stipulation that the Station would always bear his name - hence Croton-Harmon Station. Many railroad employees chose to make the Village their home because of its close proximity to the yards.
