Port Clements, British Columbia

Port Clements is a small village located on the eastern coast of Massett Inlet on Graham Island, which is the largest of the islands that make up Haida Gwaii in British Columbia, and is located about 50 km south of Masset (at the mouth of Masset Inlet).

Today, Port Clements is a small community with a population of around 300 people, many of whom work in the tourism industry.

Port Clements History

The area around Port Clements was settled by the Haida people for thousands of years.

In the late 1800s, European settlers began to arrive in the area to harvest the abundant natural resources of timber and fish. In 1907, a sawmill was built in Port Clements, which helped to establish the village as an important logging center. The village was officially incorporated in 1975.

During the mid-1900s, Port Clements grew rapidly as more people moved to the area to work in the logging industry. However, the logging industry began to decline in the 1970s, and many residents left.
