"Taghum" means "six" in the Chinook Jargon and is a reference to the rough distance in mile from the wharf at the city of Nelson, British Columbia.

Taghum was founded by prospector M. Monaghan from Minnesota in 1888, who pre-empted 160 acres (0.65 km²) of land. The Canadian Pacific Railway built a siding at this location. A lumbermill originally located at Lebahdo in the nearby Slocan Valley, owned by John Bell and A.G. Lambert, was moved here by 1909.
