Crofton’s pioneer families established homesteads in the small valley until 1902 when a copper smelter was built. The prosperity was short lived and Crofton was quiet until 1957 when B.C. Forest Products opened its pulp and paper mill. The town’s buildings are an eclectic mix of early 1900’s miners’ homes, mid-century summer cottages, and modern sub-division-style developments. Crofton offers affordable accommodations, an RV park overlooking Osborne Bay, great value restaurants, and numerous land and sea recreational choices.
