As in previous years, Americans were buying houses in the suburbs, and were also busy purchasing new cars, televisions, and refrigerators. In 1956, about 60% of Americans owned a home, 71.8% of American households had a television, and 80% of households had a refrigerator. There were 387.58 vehicles per thousand people, and General Motors occupied over 50% of the American vehicle market. Fast food and TV dinners were all the rage, mothers could now buy disposable diapers, and one in three high school graduates was now going to college. Rocking around the clock with Elvis, playing the card game canasta, reading Peyton Place, and watching The Guiding Light and The Price Is Right had also become immensely popular.

The area was first settled in the mid-19th century by pioneers who established the town as a seaport for the west coast logging and fishing industries, and as a jumping off point for prospectors heading to British Columbia's gold fields.
