History

The community was originally called Minskinish, and established by Reverend R. Tomlinson in 1888 as a Victorian missionary village. The station was opened by the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, and joined by a post office across the street in 1910. In 1988 the official registered centre of the village was officially moved to being on the opposite side of the Skeena river from the railway station. The station and town were connected by a ferry service.[1]
