Smithers, British Columbia |
Nestled in the picturesque Bulkley Valley, in the shadow of Hudson Bay Mountain and surrounded by three mountain ranges, it's no wonder that Smithers is known as Little Switzerland, having adopted an alpine theme for its downtown core. The area's panoramic scenery is matched only by the genuine warmth of its community.
The red brick sidewalk on Main Street invites you to stroll and browse through Smithers, from the former 1925 court house at one end to its twin, the newly restored Canadian National Railway station, at the other.
Both these heritage buildings provide a link to Smithers' roots as a railway town. Founded in 1913 as the divisional headquarters of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad, Smithers became the first village to be incorporated in BC, in 1921, and finally obtained town status in 1967, Canada's Centennial year.
Along the way, Smithers became home to pioneer settlers who farmed the valley, discovered its mineral riches, and developed the forest industry that is so vital to the community today.
Population: 6,000
Location: Smithers is located on the Yellowhead Highway 16, in the Bulkley Valley of Northwest British Columbia, between Prince George in the interior (232 miles/371 km) and Prince Rupert on the west coast (220 miles/350 km).
