Welcome to Fort St John!
Swishing grain, grazing cattle and steadily pumping oil and gas derricks backdrop the Peace Region town of Fort St. John, dubbed the —The Energetic City" due to its wealth of natural resources. Beginning as a trading post with a total membership of 12 people in 1794, the community moved approximately six times until rooting in its present location 73 km (46 mi) northwest Dawson Creek, and 387 km (240 mi) southeast of Fort Nelson. The development of the Alaska Highway contributed greatly to a steady growth of population, now at over 16,000 people and providing key services to those in the outlying areas, totalling 45,000. View over 4,000 artifacts, a trapper—s cabin and teepee at the North Peace Museum, or enjoy the sweeter things in life at The Honey Place, a working honey farm and site of the world—s largest glass beehive. The late summer light allows for extended enjoyment of golfing, hiking and fishing, while winter pleasures include snow-shoeing, dog sledding and nearby heli-skiing opportunities.Tourist Attractions
