Lebahdo, originally Watson's Siding, is an unincorporated rural community and former Canadian Pacific Railway station and siding in the Slocan Valley of the West Kootenay region of the southeastern Interior of British Columbia, Canada, located just south of Winlaw, British Columbia.
"Lebahdo" is Chinook Jargon for "shingle" and is a reference to a former sawmill operation here beginning in 1905. Owned by John Bell and A.G. Lambert, the mill was moved to Taghum on the north side of the West Arm of Kootenay Lake near Nelson.
