It was named Letchworth, after Letchworth Garden City. The name was suggested by land developer H. F. Halloran. It was located at an unrealised Halloran residential sub-division, also named Letchworth. The station would have also served another of his sub-divisions, Environa, if either of the sub-divisions had been developed.[1][2][3][4][5]
