Its sawmill discontinued operations in 1968.

The following text is from Company Towns in the Pacific Northwest by Linda Carlson
“When the Boss Built the Town — Carlsborg, Clallam County, Washington
Established in 1915, this community east of Port Angeles had a post office, butcher shop, general store, cookhouse, bunkhouses, and about a dozen homes for married workers. By 1919, it had 300 residents. There were several privately owned businesses and structures, including a grange hall, school, and homes. After several ownership changes, the sawmill was closed in the late 1960s. A two-room elementary and high school operated as late as the early 1950s. One former owner’s son said mill management maintained a charge account with the local sheriff for bailing out workers after weekend binges.”
Dining Around is all about friendship!
The Dining Around Host makes a reservation at a local restaurant where the members meet for a casual meal and socializing. Everyone orders off the menu and pays their share. The gathering is a great opportunity to enjoy old friends and make new ones.
