The Sawmill Area is bounded roughly by Bellamah, Mountain Rd, 15th St, and 2nd St. NW. Houses were first built here in the 1800s, with the original sawmill and its railroad spur arriving in 1903. The first two subdivisions were established in 1884 and 1905, and the major subdivisions arrived in the 1920s in a post WWI building boom.
