Mickey Mouse Town

The Village of Warfield is readily identified by the distinguished style of homes, unique trees, beautiful gardens and well-kept properties in Upper Warfield.

In 1938, Cominco developed 316 lots in Upper Warfield and built 150 low-cost homes in this area. The houses built by Cominco at this time shared similar features; bright colors, sharp sloped peaked roofs, small windows and small doors. These homes resembled houses featured in Mickey Mouse cartoons. It is the unique architecture of these early company built homes of Upper Warfield that earned it the nickname “Mickey Mouse Town”.

Each distinct neighbourhood in the Village contributes to Warfield’s unique way of life.
