Administrative history
The Victoria Lumber and Manufacturing Company was incorporated in 1889. Original shareholders in the company included William J. Macaulay (Victoria), John E. Glover, William H. Phipps and John A. Humbird. The company's mill was constructed in Chemainus and became one of the largest on the West Coast. Although suffering during the depression in the early 1890s, the mill generated 100 million feet of lumber per year by 1896. The mill burned down in 1923 but was rebuilt. It ceased operations in 1950.
