Dawson City, located in Yukon, Canada, is a historic gold rush town that played a pivotal role in the Klondike Gold Rush of the late 1890s. The town, situated at the confluence of the Yukon and Klondike Rivers, has preserved much of its frontier character and gold rush era architecture.

Originally a First Nations settlement of the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in people, the town transformed dramatically when gold was discovered in 1896, leading to one of the world's most famous gold rushes. Today, Dawson City maintains its historical significance through carefully preserved buildings, wooden boardwalks, and cultural institutions that showcase both its gold rush heritage and indigenous culture. The town's unique position as a former boomtown turned cultural center offers visitors a glimpse into an important chapter of Canadian history, while also celebrating contemporary arts and culture through various festivals and events.
