Description
Calder (historical) is located at mouth of Marble Creek, on E shore of Shakan Bay, on NW coast of Prince of Wales I., Alex. Arch.
History
This is the site of an abandoned marble quarry, first discovered in 1896 and expanded by the Alaska Marble Co. in 1904 (F. E. Wright and C. W. Wright, 1908, p. 192-195). The mining settlement obtained a post office (the name being derived from Mount Calder 6 miles to the northwest) in 1906, discontinued in 1918 (Ricks, 1965, p. 8).
