In 1885, brothers Nathan and John McKay, pioneering loggers from Nova Scotia, purchased 160 acres of prime timberland on Love Creek (just a mile south of the Calaveras Big Trees) for $800. They built the Clipper Mill, named in honor of their relative Donald C. McKay, the renowned builder of famous American clipper ships. The land held one of the heaviest stands of sugar pine in the region.
