Actually several communities with a total population of 8,000. |
Within minutes of twentieth century comfort, travelers can visit centuries-old Native culture and decades of pioneering spirit. The Gitksan and Wet-Suwet'En peoples have made their home here for centuries. Located at the confluence of the Skeena and Bulkley Rivers, the Hazeltons became bustling pioneer communities in the 1860's.This shared history, in a magnficent wilderness setting has made the Hazeltons the "historic heartland of northwestern BC". The original settlement, "Old Town", shares a glimpse of the wild west, where Europeans opened the area as a service centre for the entire Northwest in the 1860's. Here, old-fashioned storefronts and historic buildings (some now restaurants & shops) recall the gold rush days.
