Winlaw
Winlaw is a small unincorporated community, located in the Slocan Valley region of the West Kootenay area in southeastern British Columbia, Canada.[1] The town of Winlaw originally centered on a lumber mill that once stood where Winlaw Elementary School is. Winlaw was named after John Brown Winlaw who also pioneered in Wyndel BC and was the owner of the local lumber mill. In the late 19th century he took the train to the end of the rail line and founded the mill.
Winlaw is generally thought to include the area between the Threads Guild and the former Roberts Restaurant.
