History:
Established in 1912, as a base for the Air Force during World War Two. Telegraph Cove, British Columbia was potentially a prime location for many more opportunities, which later brought big business to what was once a one-room communication station. The cove later grew into a fish saltery / cannery and then a booming sawmill. The mill began a site to constructed boxes for shipping the salmon to distant market places for commercial sale. The businesses have run here hand-in-hand ever since.
