description

Summary

A settlement was established at Canyon City in 1897-98 with the start of the Klondike Gold Rush. A few scattered tents grew into a prosperous village, with 25 businesses and 1,500 inhabitants spanning both sides of the river.

Little remains of the town site today, and the former city has been eroded and damaged by the force of the Taiya River.
