History
Kendall was founded in 1887 by F.B. Hardmen. It was named for the settler Carthage Kendall. Limestone quarrying featured in the area for at least 75 years. A seam of high-quality stone was in the flank of Sumas Mountain. The limestone was used for riprap, cement, and construction. The Milwaukee Road railroad had a spur from Bellingham to move the blocks. Abandoned tracks crossing the highway near the Pair-o-dice Tavern mark the location of the mine.
