This photo from the Hughes & Carpenter exhibit, courtesy the Trail Historical Society, shows the Village of Warfield circa 1940.
Warfield was named after Carlos Warfield, a business partner of Fritz Augustus Heinze, the pioneer credited with building the Trail smelter.
In the 1930s, the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company (CM&S, now Teck Trail) built a residential area, in Warfield and Annable, to house employees.
Warfield incorporated as a village 70 years ago, in 1952.
