Historic Yale

Transportation
Yale was the head of navigation on the Fraser River. Founded in 1848 as a Hudson's Bay Company fur post, Fort Yale later became a roaring gold-rush town and for 20 years was the starting point of the famous Cariboo Wagon Road. Yale faded with the gold-rush but boomed again in C.P.R. construction days as a wide-open western town.
