Galvin was platted on June 3, 1910 as a logging settlement. Originally named Lincoln, it was renamed in the next year for John Galvin, its founder.[2] The city is noted for the Busek Auto Museum, a collection of a variety of vintage vehicles, which was featured in a 2007 independent film, Rain in the Mountains.[3]
