Note	Up The Bay a bit a Cornishman by the name of George Corfield started a farm, general store and post office. Postal records for 1893 show him and Ordano both having post offices. Corfield, the name for the area eventually became part of Cowichan Bay. His dairy farm was the best in the area. The general store dealt in all matter of goods. The Cowichan Indians brought game and fur to trade for guns and food. That game made it into Victoria by the newly built E&N Railway for the tables of the Empress Hotel. There was not a thing that was not traded at the Corfield Store. As an avid tennis player he donated the land to the tennis club. As mentioned, polo was played in his field. His family went on to become quite prominent in Duncan. They owned the largest automobile garage, Duncan Motors and the fleet of school buses to name just two.
