Vanderhoof & Area The Carrier people pioneered the land in this area long before the first white man arrived. Following the driving of the last spike of the Grand Trunk Railway in 1914 the race was on to buy cheap land and the settlement of Vanderhoof was begun.

The settlement grew and in 1926 the Village of Vanderhoof was born. In the 1950’s the Kenney Dam was built and more people came to the area. The 1960’s

brought a large influx of American immigrants and the town has begun to grow steadily ever since. Vanderhoof is reliant on the lumber industry as well as agriculture which is one of the largest forage producing areas in British Columbia as well as the recent mine construction going on.

Vanderhoof is very proud of the fact that it is the Geographical Centre of BC.

Fort Fraser Fort Fraser celebrated 100 years since the last spike was driven into the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway in 2014.

Here he established Fort McLeod in 1805, Fort St. James and Fort Fraser in 1806, and Fort George in 1807.
