The name for the company comes from all that went on in Squamish during the year 1914. The building of the downtown core and its roads along with the first steps towards incorporation by officially taking the name of Squamish rather than Newport and that summer the start of the railroad that eventually connected Squamish to Pemberton took shape. The effects of the war that also began that year also had a significant and lasting effect in shaping the future of Squamish.
