A post office called Bordeaux was established in 1903, and remained in operation until 1942.[2] The community was named after Thomas Bordeaux, a businessman in the lumber industry.[3] Lumbering operations ended in the 1940s once the timber had been extracted, and the town's population dwindled. When the town's sawmill shut down in the mid-20th century, its last remaining inhabitants abandoned it. The site of Bordeaux is now located on private property which is inaccessible to the public.[4] [failed verification]
