Dawson Creek is a city in northeastern British Columbia, Canada. Dawson Creek derives its name from the creek of the same name that runs through the community. The creek was named after George Mercer Dawson by a member of his land survey team when they passed through the area in August 1879. Once a small farming community, Dawson Creek became a regional center after the western terminus of the Northern Alberta Railways was extended there in 1932. The community grew rapidly in 1942 as the US Army used the rail terminus as a transshipment point during the construction of the Alaska Highway . In the 1950s, the city was connected to the interior of British Columbia via a highway and a railway through the Rocky Mountains . Since the 1960s, growth has slowed, but the area population has increased. Dawson Creek is in the dry and windy prairie land of the Peace River Country .
