Powell River was named after Dr. Israel Wood Powell, who was British Columbia's first Superintendent of Indian Affairs from 1872 to 1889. In 1881, Dr. Powell was travelling up the BC coast in a ship named the Rocket and when a short river draining a large lake was spotted on the coastline, it was decided that the sites would be named in his honour as Powell River and Powell Lake.
With the establishment of logging camps in the Powell River area in the 1880s, Powell River became a regular stop for the ships of the Union Steamship Company. The area's deep harbour and the energy potential that would be available from a dammed Powell River convinced three men from Minnesota, Dr. Dwight Brooks, Anson Brooks and M.J. Scanlon, to build the largest pulp and paper mill in Western Canada.
In 1909, after purchasing the pulp lease owned by the Canadian Industrial Company and the water rights of Powell Lake from the Pacific Coast Power Company, Brooks and Scanlon incorporated The Powell River Company. By 1912, the Powell River Mill was built and in operation and by the mid-1960s, it was the highest producer of wood fibre pulp and paper newsprint in the world.
The Powell River Company was merged into MacMillan Bloedel in 1960. Ownership then passed to Pacific Papers in 1998, which was again purchased by Norske Skog Canada in 2001, becoming Catalyst Paper in 2005. Paper Excellence Canada finalized the acquisition of Catalyst Paper on Mach 15, 2019.
In 1995, the original Powell River townsite area was designated by the Canadian federal government as a National Historic District. In 1995 Powell River was incorporated as a separate district municipality and received full city status in 2005.
