The community later developed as a farming and transportation hub during the mining boom of the late 1800s and early 1900s, when sternwheelers travelled the Arrow Lakes carrying people and supplies throughout the region. Following construction of the Hugh Keenleyside Dam in the 1960s, the area evolved into the peaceful lakeside community enjoyed today.
