Purse seiners, gill-netters, and fish traps (eventually outlawed in 1934), along with reef nets, generated an abundant salmon catch - one million fish in 1901. By 1900, large canneries at Friday Harbor and Richardson and smaller ones elsewhere had been built to process the catch. Richardson, named for pioneer homesteader George Richardson, was then the county's busiest port. The Richardson cannery, built by William Graham and N. P. Hodgson, employed more than 400 workers.
