What is Crofton, British Columbia?
[[Image:Crofton, British Columbia Location.png|thumb|right|300px|Location of Crofton]] '''Crofton''' is a town on [[Vancouver Island]], in [[British Columbia]], [[Canada]]. It is a small town with only 2,500 people living in it. Crofton lies alongside the water. A [[:wikt:miner|miner]] named Henry Croft founded the town in [[1902]] so he could do better mining on the mountains around Crofton. But soon after, the mining stopped. In [[1956]], a mill that makes paper was built in Crofton. Today, that mill has over 1,000 workers. Because Crofton is on the water, it has a ferry that takes people to [[Salt Spring Island]], which is nearby. {{multistub|Geo|Canada}} [[Category:Towns in Canada]] [[Category:Settlements in British Columbia]]
