Lower Post, British Columbia

British Columbia Tourism Region : Northern BC

Description From Owner:

Here the US Army engineers building the Alcan (Alaska) Highway from the east met those coming from the west.
Hyland River - After John Hyland, pioneer trader and founder of one of the dynastic families in the Cassiar.
Kaska Creek - Kaska, meaning 'old moccasins,' was a term of scorn that Tahltan Indians applied to the neighbouring Kaska Indians in the Dease River area.
Lower Post - Lower Post, where Dease River enters the Liard, got its name with reference to an earlier 'upper post' established near McDame Creek, farther up Dease River.
Mount Monckton - After Philip Marmaduke Monckton, BCLS (1892-1965). He carried out extensive surveys in northwestern British Columbia, where his hardiness and ability to live off the country won him the name of 'The Wolverine' from the Tahltan Indians.
Had he lived he would have inherited another title, Viscount Galway, which passed to his son.
