[edit] It's all opinion
They even use first person in that last paragraph. The history is fairly sound, and interesting to read. But this was definitely written by someone from the town. - Darkhawk

On this page, the following was posted:
"Actually, I grew up there too, and I know the reason it was named that... It's an old Native word meaning the cross between two roads. I did a project about it in College. It was the crossing of the Trans Canada Highway and the Railroad... right where my house used to be, I lived on the corner just as you get into town..."
So was the town named after the mine? Maybe not... perhaps more investigation will let us know.
