History Gold, discovered in 1896 on nearby creeks, caused the Klondike Gold Rush which turned this native summer fish camp at the junction of the Klondike and Yukon Rivers into the "Paris of the North". (The natives moved downstream to Moosehide.) The town was staked out by Joe Ladue and named after George M. Dawson, Director of the Geological Survey of Canada, who explored the region in 1887. In 1898, Dawson was the largest Canadian city west of Winnipeg (40,000 people) with telephone service, running water and steam heat. Elaborate hotels, theatres and dance halls were erected, with Andrew Carnegie donating $25,000 towards the building of a library in 1903. During 1899 the stampede for gold came to an end, and 8,000 people left Dawson that summer. By 1902, the population was down to less than 5,000. In 1902, Dawson was officially incorporated as a city. It was the seat of the Territorial Government from 1898. Major mining operations took over most of the Klondike gold beds in the years following the Gold Rush, but production declined after an all-time high in 1911. Higher gold prices caused a minor boom in the 1930's, but the last dredge was shut down in 1966. The Yukon's economic centre shifted to Whitehorse, which became the capital in 1953. Whitehorse was more accessible than Dawson due to the building of the Alaska Highway and cessation of riverboat travel. Today, tourism and gold mining are the major inductries, both taking place during the summer months. Approximately 60,000 people visit Dawson City each year.

Shatford was elected president, the financial statement showed total receipts of $4,096.65 and expenditures of $5,581.66. The Chamber fortunately survived those early, difficult financial years. Early in 1922 the signing of a five year lease in a building located at 438 West Pender Street signaled that better financial times had arrived. During this period, and in later years, financial aid was provided by both the City of Vancouver and the Province of British Columbia Immediately after its formation, the Chamber began establishing its library, its impressive mineral collection and on, November 28, 1918

Even though Yukon is in the remote North, vehicle registrations were set up suprisingly early. This is probably due to the gold-rush (the Klondike ) which started at the end of the 19th century. The Yukon was settled by many, who came to seek their fortune in gold. Dawson City was supposedly the largest city west of Winnipeg at one point! Today, much of this boom has gone bust, as many of these "get rich quick" overnight operations folded. As a result, there are a lot of isolated ghost towns not connected by any modern routes. The Yukon first started registration in 1914, using flat tin plates which displayed the year of issue rather than the year of expiry . The plates were handpainted using a stencil on flat tin and probably all done by the same signpainter. They were intended to be permanent until replaced by the annual embossed license plates provided by the territory starting in 1924. All these early plates carried "YT" for Yukon Territory. An interesting design came out in 1952 with the miner "Yukon Sam" panning for gold, complete with a gold nugget in the pan! This wasn't real gold, of course, but rather a dab of gold paint, applied by hand. The "Land of the Midnight Sun" has provided us with a colorful license plate history as you can see on the far left. The tri-color styles (where the miner is of a different color from the numbers) are very popular with collectors.

60. A Short History Of Freemasonry In Yukon A short history of Freemasonry in yukon. Presented at the Vancouver Grand MasonicDay, March 2, 2002 by RW Bro. Jacques BoilY, Whitehorse Lodge No. 46. http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/Writings/gmd2002/yukon.html

2002 GRAND MASONIC DAY OUR LANDMARKS BLACK SHEEP LODGES FREEMASONRY IN YUKON ... THE MASONIC TRIAL A short history of Freemasonry in Yukon Presented at the Vancouver Grand Masonic Day, March 2, 2002 by RW Bro. Jacques BoilY, Whitehorse Lodge No. 46 The Yukon Territory, an area of 186,661 square miles lies in the extreme northwest of Canada directly north of the province of British Columbia. It stretches north above the Arctic Circle to border the Beaufort Sea and its capital is the city of Whitehorse. The mighty Yukon River, from its source at the Llewellyn Glacier high above Atlin Lake in northwestern British Columbia, runs for a distance of approximately 2,300 miles northward through the Yukon Territory, via the cities of Whitehorse and Dawson City, continuing westwards across Alaska where it empties into the Bering Sea, north of Norton Sound. Just how Freemasonry was introduced into the Yukon Territory is difficult to determine but in 1844 ships from England and San Francisco were arriving at Fort Victoria in British Columbia. In 1849 Vancouver's Island, with its capitol in Victoria was proclaimed a British Colony by Great Britain. It was in 1866 that the mainland and island colonies were merged into a single entity then known as the Colony of British Columbia and on July 1, 1887 the first Dominion Day was celebrated in British Columbia and she assumed her place as a province of the Dominion of Canada. With the population growth and existence of Freemasonry now becoming established, the Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of British Columbia was consecrated on the 26th day of December, 1871. As a matter of interest it is believed that in 1778, Captain James Cook became the first Freemason to set foot in what is now the province of British Columbia.
