[citation needed] Bay View was listed as an unincorporated community on the 1950 and 1960 U.S. Census rolls.
It was a model community when it was created and it received an award at the New York World's Fair.
This community typically consisted of two-, three-, four-, and five-room houses that were owned by TCI and rented to the workers.
The rent was USD $2.00 per room per month for the TCI employees living in the homes.
Today, residents in Bayview work for businesses across the county and are not exclusively associated with the mining industry.
