This was to be the future home of employees at Fording River Operations. The land was bought from Mathias Baher, son of one of the early pioneer families in the area, and one of the few to have settled so far into the Elk River Valley. The initial $25,000 purchase was for 50 acres of land, drawn up and signed for on September 22,1969. It was a picture-perfect spot. Located in the heart of the Elk Valley, the future site of Elkford offered scenic beauty, strategic location, and a strong quality of life for those willing to relocate there. It was pure wilderness, standing much as it had since the thaw of the glaciers. There was plenty to do before the future inhabitants of Elkford would be ready to move in. By mid-1970, sewer and water lines had been run into the town-site and people were starting to move in. By autumn of that year, Elkford began taking shape. On October 19, 1970, the areas very first residents, Ed and Mary Kambick, arrived in what was then to become Elkford. Ed was supervisor of electrical trades for Kootenay Engineering, and Mary later worked as a receptionist and switchboard operator at the minesite. They moved into a comfortable company-owned mobile home in an area that was to become Elkford's Phase I development. Within hours other trailers were rumbling into the area. http://www.elkvalley.net/ess/townhist.htm From Black Gold, A History in the Making, Fording Coal Limited, 1991.
