History
European settlement of Warfield began in the late 1890s when George Legge Merry and George Malcolm Annable bought properties in the area, and John and Sarah Hintz started the Hintz Dairy.
The community got its first post office in 1910. Industrialization began when Cominco Mining and Smelting Company (CM&S) — now Teck Resources — bought the Hintz Farm in 1919.
The community expanded in 1935 when CM&S developed the “Beaver Bend” neighbourhood, and again in 1938 when the company developed 316 lots in Upper Warfield, including 150 low cost homes for workers. Many of the homes still stand, and because of their unique style the area is known as “Mickey Mouse Town.”
The village was formally incorporated in 1952.
Many of the village’s residents now work in nearby Trail and Rossland, and Teck continues to maintain a major industrial site within the community.
