Boston Bar

Boston Bar combines the intimacy of a small Fraser River settlement with the industrial scale of a major transport corridor in a way that reflects its position in British Columbia’s Fraser Canyon. The community lies on Highway 1, where road and rail routes follow the narrow canyon carved by the Fraser through steep, forested slopes. Its name recalls the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush of 1858, when prospectors from Boston worked a river bar here. The setting is part of Nlaka’pamux territory, and the river remains central to travel through the canyon.
