History
Sweeney Cooperage was established in Victoria in 1889. Over the next ninety years, the cooperage grew from a small business to a Vancouver-based international organization with branches in Montreal and Seattle. Development of Vancouver's False Creek industrial area, the site of the cooperage, forced the closure of the business in 1981.
