Englewood was a community located at the head of Beaver CoveonNorthern Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Beaver Cove is on the south side of the Johnstone Strait, between Robson Bight and Port McNeill.[1] The mouth of the Kokish River is to the southeast of the former site of Englewood.[2]
The name Englewood was first adopted in September 1930 as the name of a post office and steamer landing. The post office name in the area was moved across the cove to the community of Beaver Cove in 1958.[3] By 1967, the BC Forest Service informed the provincial names office that only a 10-man logging camp remained at the site. But in 1984, a sailing guide commented that its wharves and buildings were in ruin. The name and accompanying designation as a community
Englewood as a name is a derivation of the local sawmill company's name, Wood & English Logging company. The name survives today as that of the Englewood Railway, the last logging railroad operating in North America, which runs from Beaver Cove to Vernon camp for a total length of 84 miles.[4]
