Cassiar Gold Rush

The Cassiar Gold Rush of the late 19th century was a period when prospectors and miners flocked to the Cassiar region in northern British Columbia, Canada, after discoveries of gold in the area. This rush took place mainly around the early 1900s, attracting people seeking fortune by mining gold-bearing deposits. It led to the development of small towns, increased exploration, and economic activity in a remote part of Canada's wilderness. Although the rush was relatively short-lived compared to others, it significantly impacted the area's history, contributing to regional development and the eventual establishment of more permanent settlements.
