In 1966, Arrowhead Transfer, Inc. began its operation as a local trucking company offering pick up and delivery to and from the AK Steamship every other week along with gravel moving. In 1967, the company began to offer regular barge service to and from Japonski Island. Household moving services were an addition in 1968 as the company steadily expanded. Arrowhead Transfer became an agent of Foss Alaska Line, a tug and barge company, in 1970, unloading and delivering freight from the barge. The O’Connell Bridge was completed in 1972, creating access to Japonski Island by road. Lynden Inc. purchased Foss Alaska Line in 1985 and it became known as Alaska Marine Lines. Over the years Arrowhead Transfer, Inc. has become well known throughout southeast Alaska as the local agent for Alaska Marine Lines barge service and Lynden Transport water service, as well as the experts in moving household goods, providing warehousing, and performing local hauling services. In 1993, Arrowhead Transfer, Inc. purchased Etolin Enterprises in Wrangell and Island Propane in Craig, forming the subsidiary of Arrowhead LP Gas.
