The early inhabitants of the area were Carrier Indians, called “Babine” by the early explorers, referring the to the distended ornamented lower lips of the native women. Copper and silver drew prospectors into the area, but nothing substantial was ever produced until the excavation of the Norandan Bell Copper Mine. During the excavation in 1971 the bones of a fifteen to thirty thousand year old mammoth were uncovered. The Granisle Copper Mine was staked on an island in Babine Lake called Granisle and started production in 1966 and by 1969 it was producing twenty-four million pounds of copper, one hundred thirty-six thousands ounces of silver and fifteen thousand ounces of gold annually. The community of Granisle was built on the shores of Babine Lake for the employees of the mine.

The lot is mostly covered in grass with some small patches of poplar trees.
