Tow Hill

TOW HILL, on the north coast of Graham Island, 24 km east of MASSET in the QUEEN CHARLOTTE ISLANDS, was settled in the 1910s and abandoned after WWI. A razor CLAM cannery operated here from 1923 to 1930. The hill itself, a 150-m formation of columnar basalt, is the source of many HAIDA legends. The name is a Haida word meaning either "place of food" or "any grease."
