Description From Owner:

After Whitfield Chase (1820-96). A native of New York state, Chase came west over the Oregon Trail in 1852. For some years he worked as a carpenter and unprofitably prospected for gold on the Fraser and Thompson Rivers.
In 1865 he established a ranch where the South Thompson runs out from Little Shuswap Lake. He married Elizabeth, a Shuswap Indian woman, 'a wonderful person.' He prospered and raised a large family.
In 1908, when the Adams River Lumber Company laid out the townsite, James A Magee, secretary of the company, declined to have the new settlement named after himself and insisted that it should be given the name of the first settler in the district.
Niskonlith Lake - Named after a well-known Shuswap chief in the mid-1800s.
