People uprooted from Headquarters (9)

Headquarters, in the Comox Valley on the Tsolum River, was established as the Comox Logging and Railway Company townsite in 1911. Originally named Fraserville, the townsite had many amenities, including a store, post office, tennis courts, at least 20 company-owned houses, and repair facilities to service logging equipment and maintain the railway.

The company employed up to 500 men, although many employees including Japanese Canadians found work in other nearby mills, including the Mayo Lumber Company in Paldi. In 1912 a rough timber mill was built but never used. By 1950 all mill operations had been centralized elsewhere and the company houses, school, and shops were sold for removal in 1958.
