You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Dawson City''', officially the '''City of Dawson''', is a city in the Canadian [[Provinces and territories of Canada#Territories|territory]] of [[Yukon]]. It is inseparably linked to the [[Klondike Gold Rush]] (1896–1899). Its population was 1,577 as of the [[Canada 2021 Census|2021 census]],<ref name="2021census" /> making it the second-largest city in Yukon.

== History ==
[[File:Packtrain carrying freight outside of the Bartlett Bros offices, Dawson, Yukon territory, 1899 (HEGG 624).jpeg|thumb|left|Packtrain in Dawson, 1899 (photographed by [[Eric A. Hegg]])]]
Prior to the [[late modern period]] the area was used for hunting and gathering by the [[Hän language|Hän-speaking]] people of the [[Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in First Nation|Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in]] and their forebears. The heart of their homeland was [[Tr'ochëk]], a fishing camp at the confluence of the [[Klondike River]] and [[Yukon River]], now a [[National Historic Site of Canada]], just across the Klondike River from modern Dawson City. This site was also an important summer gathering spot and a base for [[moose]]-hunting on the Klondike Valley.

The current settlement was founded by [[Joseph Ladue]] and named in January 1897 after noted Canadian geologist [[George Mercer Dawson|George M. Dawson]], who had explored and [[cartography|mapped]] the region in 1887. It served as Yukon's capital from the territory's founding in 1898 until 1952, when the seat was moved to [[Whitehorse, Yukon|Whitehorse]].

Dawson City was the centre of the [[Klondike Gold Rush]].((r|jstor20078500)) It began in 1896 and changed the [[First Nations in Canada|First Nations]] camp into a thriving city of 16,000–17,000<ref>((cite web |title=NWMP Census of Dawson City, July 19, 1898 |url=http://heritage.canadiana.ca/view/oocihm.lac_reel_t13243/1285?r=0&s=1 |website=Canadian research Knowledge Network |publisher=Government of Canada |access-date=2021-12-29))</ref> by 1898. By 1899, the gold rush had ended and the town's population plummeted as all but 8,000 people left. When Dawson was incorporated as a city in 1902, the population was under 5,000. [[St. Paul's Anglican Church (Dawson City, Yukon)|St. Paul's Anglican Church]], also built that same year, is a National Historic Site. The downtown has been devastated by fire in November 1897 (that started when dance hall girl Dolly Mitchell threw a lamp at another girl in an argument), 1899 (that started in the Bodega Saloon), 1900 (that started at the Monte Carlo Theatre) and flooding in 1925, 1944, 1966, 1969 and 1979.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.yukon-news.com/life/force-of-nature-new-exhibit-displays-destruction-and-resiliency-in-yukon/ |access-date=July 9, 2023 |title=Force of nature: New exhibit displays destruction and resiliency in Yukon – Yukon News |date=16 March 2016 ))</ref>

</ref> Dawson City's population languished around the 600–900 mark through the 1960s and 1970s, but has risen and held stable since then. The high price of gold has made modern [[placer mining]] operations profitable, and the growth of the [[tourism]] industry has encouraged development of facilities. In the early 1950s, Dawson was linked by road to Alaska, and in fall 1955, with Whitehorse along a road that now forms part of the [[Klondike Highway]].

In 1978, another kind of buried treasure was discovered with the [[Dawson Film Find]] when a construction excavation inadvertently uncovered a forgotten collection of more than 500 discarded films on highly flammable [[Nitrocellulose|nitrate film stock]] from the early 20th century that were buried in (and preserved by) the [[permafrost]]. These silent-era film reels, dating from "between 1903 and 1929, were uncovered in the rubble beneath [an] old hockey rink".<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.yukon-news.com/arts/a-different-sort-of-klondike-treasure/|title=A different sort of Klondike treasure|work=Yukon News|date=24 May 2013|access-date=20 May 2017|archive-date=20 June 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170620230453/http://yukon-news.com/arts/a-different-sort-of-klondike-treasure/|url-status=dead))</ref> (See [[Dawson Film Find]].)

The City of Dawson and the nearby ghost town of [[Forty Mile, Yukon|Forty Mile]] are featured prominently in the novels and short stories of American author [[Jack London]], including ''[[The Call of the Wild]]''. London lived in the Dawson area from October 1897 to June 1898. Other writers who lived in and wrote of Dawson City include [[Pierre Berton]] and the poet [[Robert W. Service|Robert Service]].

==Geography==
[[File:Yukon Territory, Canada (28252967555).jpg|thumb|Streetscape and landslide at mountain side; Dawson City, 1964]]
Dawson City lies on the [[Tintina Fault]]. This fault has created the [[Tintina Trench]] and continues eastward for several hundred kilometres. Erosional remnants of [[lava|lava flows]] form outcrops immediately north and west of Dawson City.

=== Climate ===
Dawson City has a [[subarctic climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification]]: ''Dsc''), with significantly higher continentality than the territory capital of [[Whitehorse, Yukon|Whitehorse]]. Despite this classification, most precipitation actually occurs during summer and July is the wettest month. However, April, one of the six warmer months is sufficiently drier than October and November. Hence the letter 's' is used instead of 'f' (as in ''Dfc'').

The average temperature in July is ((convert|15.7|C)) and in January is ((convert|-26.0|C)).<ref name="ccnYDA"/> The highest temperature ever recorded is ((convert|35.0|C|0)) on 9 July 1899<ref name="July 1899"/> and 18 June 1950.<ref name="June 1950">((cite web

In the [[2021 Canadian census|2021 Census of Population]] conducted by [[Statistics Canada]], Dawson had a population of ((val|1577|fmt=commas)) living in ((val|770|fmt=commas)) of its ((val|836|fmt=commas)) total private dwellings, a change of ((percentage|((#expr:1577-1375))|1375|1)) from its 2016 population of ((val|1375|fmt=commas)). With a land area of ((convert|30.91|km2|sqmi|abbr=on)), it had a population density of ((Pop density|1577|30.91|km2|sqmi|prec=1)) in 2021.<ref name=2021census>((cite web | url=https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=9810000202&geocode=A000260 | title=Population and dwelling counts: Canada, provinces and territories, and census subdivisions (municipalities), Yukon | publisher=[[Statistics Canada]] | date=February 9, 2022 | accessdate=February 18, 2022))</ref>

According to the 2016 Census, the town is predominately [[European Canadian]] with 76.7% of the population with [[First Nations in Canada|First Nations]] accounting for 15.3% of the population and [[Filipino Canadian|Filipino]] accounting for 4.4% of the population.

== Economy ==
Today, Dawson City's main industries are [[Tourism in Canada|tourism]] and [[gold]] [[Placer mining|mining]].

=== Energy ===
Electricity is provided by [[Yukon Energy Corporation]] (YEC). Most of the grid power is [[Hydroelectricity|hydroelectric power]] through the north-south grid from dams near [[Mayo, Yukon|Mayo]], [[Whitehorse, Yukon|Whitehorse]] and [[Aishihik Lake]]. After the local hydroelectric power plant for the gold dredges was shut down in 1966, YEC provided electrical power from local [[diesel generator]]s. In 2004 YEC connected Dawson to its grid system. Since then the diesel generators function as a backup to the grid.((citation needed|date=January 2018))

=== Gold mining ===
Gold mining started in 1896 with the [[Bonanza Creek|Bonanza (Rabbit) Creek]] discovery by [[George Carmack]], [[Dawson Charlie]] and [[Keish|Skookum Jim Mason (Keish)]]. The area's creeks were quickly staked and most of the thousands who arrived in the spring of 1898 for the [[Klondike Gold Rush]] found that there was very little opportunity to benefit directly from gold mining. Many instead became entrepreneurs to provide services to miners.((citation needed|date=January 2018))

[[File:Gold dredger - Dawson City YT.jpg|thumb|[[Dredge No. 4]]]]
Starting approximately 10 years later, large [[gold dredge]]s began an industrial mining operation, scooping huge amounts of gold out of the creeks, and completely reworking the landscape, altering the locations of rivers and creeks and leaving [[Tailings|tailing]] piles in their wake. A network of canals and dams were built to the north to produce [[Hydroelectricity|hydroelectric]] power for the dredges. The dredges shut down for the winter, but one built for [[Joseph W. Boyle|"Klondike Joe Boyle"]] was designed to operate year-round, and Boyle had it operate all through one winter. That dredge ([[Dredge No. 4]]) is open as a [[National Historic Site of Canada]] on Bonanza Creek.((citation needed|date=January 2018))

The last dredge shut down in 1966, and the hydroelectric facility, at North Fork, was closed when the City of Dawson declined an offer to purchase it. Since then, [[placer mine]]rs returned to the status of being the primary mining operators in the region until recently. In 2016, [[Goldcorp]] announced a takeover of Kaminak Gold's Coffee Project south of Dawson.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.goldcorp.com/English/Investor-Resources/News/News-Details/2016/Goldcorp-Announces-Acquisition-of-Kaminak-Gold-Corporation/default.aspx|title=Goldcorp Inc. – Investors|website=www.goldcorp.com))</ref> This marked a shift in the region, drawing the interest of the major gold mining companies in the Yukon. In 2017, [[Newmont Mining Corporation]], [[Barrick Gold]] and [[Agnico Eagle Mines Limited]] have all committed significant investment, engaging in the exploration of properties across the Central Yukon.((citation needed|date=January 2018))

Dawson City also hosts a softball tournament which brings teams from [[Inuvik Region|Inuvik]] in late summer. Furthermore, a volleyball tournament is held annually at the end of October and is attended by various high schools across Yukon.

The city was home to the [[Dawson City Nuggets]] hockey team, which in 1905 challenged the [[Ottawa Senators (original)|Ottawa Silver Seven]] for the [[Stanley Cup]]. Travelling to [[Ottawa]] by [[dog sled]], ship, and train, the team lost the most lopsided series in Stanley Cup history, losing two games by the combined score of 32 to 4.<ref name="McKinley2000">((cite book |title=Putting a roof on winter |last=McKinley |first=Michael |year=2000 |publisher=Greystone Books |isbn=1-55054-798-4 |url-access=registration |url=https://archive.org/details/puttingroofonwin0000mcki ))</ref>

In 2004, the [[Government of Yukon|Yukon government]] removed the mayor and the town council, as a result of the town going bankrupt. The territorial government accepted a large portion of the responsibility for this situation in March 2006, writing off $3.43 million of the debt and leaving the town with $1.5 million still to pay off. Elections were set for June 15, 2006. John Steins, a local artist and one of the leaders of the movement to restore democracy to Dawson, was acclaimed as mayor, while 13 residents ran for the four council seats. Steins was succeeded in office by former mayor [[Peter Jenkins (politician)|Peter Jenkins]], who in turn was succeeded by Wayne Potoroka.<ref name=cbc2009>((cite news |website=cbc.ca |url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/story/2009/09/24/yukon-municipal-noms.html |title=Jenkins seeks Dawson City mayor's job, again |publisher=[[CBC News]] |date=September 24, 2009))</ref>

In 2021, four candidates ran for Mayor, and former city councillor William (Bill) Kendrick won the election and is the current Mayor of Dawson City.

Other past mayors of Dawson City have included [[Art Webster]], [[Colin Mayes]], [[Yolanda Burkhard]], Mike Comadina and Vi Campbell.

In the [[Legislative Assembly of Yukon]], Dawson City is in the electoral district of [[Klondike (electoral district)|Klondike]], currently represented by [[Sandy Silver]] of the [[Yukon Liberal Party]].

The government of [[Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in First Nation|Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in]], now a self-governing [[First Nations in Canada|First Nation]], is also located in Dawson.

Dawson was incorporated as a city in 1902 when it met the criteria for "city" status under the municipal act of that time. It retained the incorporation even as the population plummeted. When a new municipal act was adopted in the 1980s, Dawson met the criteria of "town", and was incorporated as such although with a special provision to allow it to continue to use the word "City", partially for historical reasons and partially to distinguish it from [[Dawson Creek]], a small city in northeastern [[British Columbia]]. Dawson Creek is also named in honour of George M. Dawson. This led the territorial government to post the following signs at the boundaries of the town: "Welcome to the Town of the City of Dawson".((citation needed|date=January 2018)) As of the 2001 ''Municipal Act'', the town's official legal name is now simply the "City of Dawson".<ref name="MunicipalAct">((cite web | url=http://www.gov.yk.ca/legislation/acts/municipal.pdf | title=Municipal Act | publisher=Government of Yukon | page=24 | quote=the corporation of the City of Dawson is continued as a town and shall have the name “City of Dawson” | year=2002 | access-date=December 7, 2020))</ref>
