Originally a collection of five coal mining communities, however, during the 1960s, the communities were consolidated into one area or District, called Sparwood, in homage to the history of trees harvested in the area intended for use as masts on ships.
Located in the beautiful Elk Valley and conveniently central to Teck Coal’s five metallurgical coal mines Sparwood offers convenient access to work and play for people with a keen interest in the outdoor lifestyle.
