THE DISTRICT ## Where Peace River North is 175,795 km² · 40,380 people Peace River North fills the north-east corner of British Columbia. The Electoral Boundaries Commission's 2023 final report says it extends to the borders of the Yukon and the Northwest Territories in the north and to the Alberta border in the east. It consists of communities north of the Peace River, including Hudson's Hope, Fort St. John, Taylor and Fort Nelson. Its western boundary follows the borders of the Northern Rockies Regional Municipality and the Peace River Regional District, and its southern boundary follows the Peace River. The commission's table gives the area as 175,795 square kilometres and the population count as 40,375, which is 24.9% below the average district. The commission says the six northern districts have challenging terrain and weather, limited transportation options and poor internet connections. It looked at reducing those six districts to five and decided that this would deprive residents of effective representation. Elections BC's 2024 results file lists voting places at Baldonnel, Buick Creek, Charlie Lake, Montney, Pink Mountain, Prespatou, Prophet River, Taylor, Toad River, Upper Pine and Wonowon, and at Northern Rockies Lodge. The District of Taylor places Taylor 18 km south of Fort St. John, along the Peace River. Halfway River First Nation says it is based in Wonowon, 75 km northwest of Fort St. John. Prophet River First Nation says its community is 100 km south of Fort Nelson, on the Alaska Highway at Mile 233, and Fort Nelson First Nation says most of its members were moved to Mile 295 of the same highway in the early 1960s. The Peace River Regional District lists Blueberry River First Nations, Doig River First Nation and Halfway River First Nation among the First Nations communities in its area. - Fort St. John - Charlie Lake - Baldonnel - Taylor - Hudson's Hope - Montney - Buick Creek - Prespatou - Upper Pine - Wonowon - Halfway River First Nation - Pink Mountain - Prophet River - Prophet River First Nation - Toad River - Fort Nelson Sources: [British Columbia Electoral Boundaries Commission (opens in a new tab)](https://elections.bc.ca/docs/rpt/BCEBC-Final-Report-April-3-2023.pdf), [Elections BC (opens in a new tab)](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/44914a35-de9a-4830-ac48-870001ef8935), [District of Taylor (opens in a new tab)](https://districtoftaylor.com/?p=38), [Halfway River First Nation (opens in a new tab)](https://hrfn.ca/), [Prophet River First Nation (opens in a new tab)](https://prophetriverfirstnation.com/), [Fort Nelson First Nation (opens in a new tab)](https://fortnelsonfirstnation.org/about-fnfn/), [Peace River Regional District (opens in a new tab)](https://www.prrd.bc.ca/our-government/who-we-are/communities/) HISTORY ## The history of the area Checked Thursday, October 8, 2026 ### Dane-zaa and Dene peoples of the north-east Doig River First Nation calls its people Tsááʔ çhé ne dane and says they are descendants of the Dane-zaa peoples, who have occupied the Peace River region of British Columbia and Alberta for thousands of years. Its history page says archaeological evidence from the Charlie Lake cave site shows that the area was occupied from at least 10,500 years ago by people who hunted bison and other game. The Canadian Encyclopedia describes Charlie Lake Cave as one of the oldest archaeological sites in Canada. Doig River First Nation says its people followed the teachings of the Nááchę, or Dreamers, who gained knowledge of the future through dreaming. Blueberry River First Nations describes itself as a Treaty 8 Nation whose traditional territory extends over 3.8 million hectares of the Peace River region. Its 2025 backgrounder says the Nation has both Dane-zaa (Beaver) and Cree (Nêhiyawêwin) cultural groups, who exist together as one community, and that its main reserve is 80 km northwest of Fort St. John. Halfway River First Nation calls itself a Dane-Zaa Nation. Doig River First Nation gives the distance from Fort St. John to its community as 70 km northeast. Farther north, Prophet River First Nation describes itself as a Dene Tsaa Nation and says its traditional territory is mainly in the boreal forest of north-eastern British Columbia. Fort Nelson First Nation says its people are the People of the Land, that they have occupied north-east British Columbia for tens of thousands of years, and that they speak the Dené and Cree languages. It lists places its families came from, among them Nelson Forks, Fontas, Kahntah and Moose Lake. The Northern Rockies Regional Municipality says the Métis community of Fort Nelson has been in the region since the North West Company arrived. The 2021 census counted 6,265 people with an Indigenous identity in the district, including 3,750 First Nations people and 2,240 Métis.

The Canadian Encyclopedia says the North West Company built that fort and replaced it with Fort d'Epinette in 1806 near the mouth of the Beatton River, and that the Hudson's Bay Company renamed the post Fort St John in 1821. BC Geographical Names says the origin of the Fort St. John name is unknown, and names the Beatton River after Francis Work Beatton, the company's factor at Fort St. John from 1883 to 1928. Upstream, the Hudson's Hope Museum's timeline says that in 1805 Simon Fraser, James MacDougall and John Stuart established Rocky Mountain Portage House for the North West Company. It says a new log post was built in 1899 on the museum's present site, on the north side of the river. BC Geographical Names says the post was known as Hudson's Hope or the Hope of Hudson as early as 1873, and that writers disagree about where the name came from. The same source quotes Alexander Mackenzie's 1793 journal, which calls the river Unjigah or Peace River and says its name comes from Peace Point, the spot where the Cree and the Beaver settled their dispute. In the north, BC Geographical Names says Fort Nelson was founded in 1805 and was apparently named after Horatio, Lord Nelson. The Fort Nelson Heritage Museum also dates the fur post to 1805. At Toad River the Hudson's Bay Company set up a trading post in 1867, which a Geological Survey of Canada report of 1890 noted as abandoned. Fort Nelson First Nation says its members came to the Old Fort on the Fort Nelson River to trade furs and buy goods at the Hudson Bay Post.

The government's published text lists later signatures as adhesions, which are signatures from groups that joined after the first meeting. The commissioners' report says the people at Fort St. John had left for their hunting grounds on 1 June 1899, weeks before the meeting date, and that the commissioners turned back. On 30 May 1900 the Beaver Indians of the Upper Peace River met Commissioner James Ansdell Macrae at Fort St. John and signed an adhesion. The treaty text promises the right to pursue their usual vocations of hunting, trapping and fishing throughout the tract, subject to government regulations. Doig River First Nation says that in 1898 its people opposed gold miners heading north through their territory to the Klondike, until the Crown agreed to a Peace Treaty. It says its ancestors, the Fort St. John Beaver Band, signed Treaty 8 in 1900 to protect their lands and natural resources from outside interests. Blueberry River First Nations also gives 1900 as the year its ancestors signed. Fort Nelson First Nation says Chief Jimmie Badine and Headman Tommy Whitehead signed its adhesion on 15 August 1910 at the Old Fort. The BC Assembly of First Nations lists Prophet River First Nation as joining Treaty 8 in 1910 and splitting from Fort Nelson in 1974. It lists Halfway River First Nation as joining in 1914 as part of the Hudson Hope band. The Treaty 8 Tribal Association says it has supported Treaty 8 First Nations in north-eastern British Columbia since 1982, and names Doig River, Fort Nelson, Halfway River, Prophet River, Saulteau and West Moberly among its six member Nations.

Many members could not pay the fees, and settlers took over their traplines. It says the Fort St. John Beaver Band chose a gathering place now known as Montney for its reserve in 1914. After the Second World War the Department of Indian Affairs wanted the Montney land for returning soldiers, and the band surrendered it. In return it received three smaller reserves at the Doig, Blueberry and Beatton rivers. Elections BC lists a voting place at Montney Rec Hall. By 1977 the band had split into the Doig River and Blueberry River First Nations. Homesteaders arrived in the same years. The Hudson's Hope Museum says many homesteaders came in 1912, and that nine people filed for their quarter sections. BC Geographical Names says the Fort St. John post office opened on 1 April 1912 and that Fort St. John was incorporated as a village municipality on 31 December 1947. It says J. Abbot, a Justice of the Peace, began homesteading at Baldonnel in 1923 and is said to have named it after his home in Ireland. The District of Taylor says Donald Herbert Taylor's family moved back down the river in 1912 and was the first to settle on Taylor Flats, that a post office opened at the Taylor farm in 1923, and that a log schoolhouse built in 1919 was the first school north of the Peace River in British Columbia. BC Geographical Names says Charlie Lake was first called Old Charlie's Lake, after an old Indigenous man who lived at the south end of the lake all year while others camped there in season. It gives Tahkahje Dat'ona Manè' as the Sekani name for the lake.

Parks Canada, which recognises the Alaska Highway as a national historic event, records that construction began in March 1942 as a joint American and Canadian defence project. By the end of 1943 Dawson Creek and Fairbanks were joined by 1523 miles of all-weather road. Parks Canada says the builders relied on local guides and generally followed existing trails. Doig River First Nation says the army engineers built the highway across its traditional territory, and that after the war the road brought settlers and developers who changed its way of life. The City of Fort St. John says that in May 1942 a United States Army Corps of Engineers pontoon barge carrying seventeen soldiers and equipment sank on Charlie Lake, and twelve of the soldiers died. The city says the trapper Gus Hedin rescued five of the men in three trips in his rowboat, and that a monument now honours the twelve. At Taylor the highway crossed the Peace River on a suspension bridge. The District of Taylor says the bridge opened in 1943, nine months after construction began. The Canadian Encyclopedia says it was closed to traffic at 11 p.m. on 15 October 1957 after the shale on the north bank began to move, and that its cables then ruptured. A ferry restored traffic after a week and ran until the river froze three weeks later. Detours served for two years until a steel truss bridge that reused the old piers replaced the suspension bridge. The District of Taylor adds that the first rail crossing of the Peace River there took place in May 1958.

The Encyclopedia of BC says Westcoast Transmission was founded in 1949 to carry gas from Peace River properties to southern British Columbia and the United States, and that its pipeline, completed in 1957, was the first major natural gas pipeline in Canada. The District of Taylor says industry first moved into Taylor with the construction of that pipeline and the Taylor Refinery, on a site that is now a gas plant. Dorthea Calverley of the South Peace Historical Society wrote that the first three official trains of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway reached Fort St. John at 1:30 p.m. on 3 October 1958. She wrote that Premier W.A.C. Bennett and representatives of nine railways were greeted by the Dawson Creek Pipe Band, that Foley, Welch and Stewart had started the line in 1912, and that Fort St. John had waited a long time for direct rail service to the coast. BC Hydro says the W.A.C. Bennett Dam, completed in 1968, was the largest earth-filled structure ever built, and that Peace Canyon Dam was completed in 1980 downstream, closer to Hudson's Hope. The Hudson's Hope Museum says Hudson's Hope was incorporated in 1965, that 2000 men were working on the dam in 1966 while the population rose to 6,000, and that dinosaur tracks were excavated from the Peace River Canyon from 1976 to 1979 before the canyon was flooded. It links a school change in 1986 to the population decrease after the dam was finished. Regional government changed over the same years. BC Geographical Names records that the Peace River-Liard Regional District took effect on 31 October 1967 and was split on 31 October 1987 into the Peace River Regional District and the Fort Nelson-Liard Regional District. Fort Nelson became a village municipality on 8 April 1971 and a town municipality on 31 October 1987. The Northern Rockies Regional Municipality was incorporated on 6 February 2009 and took over the former town.

It argued that the Province had failed to manage the combined effect of industrial development in its claim area, and had so breached the Nation's Treaty 8 rights. After a trial of 160 days, the court ruled on 29 June 2021 that the Province had infringed those rights. The Nation's backgrounder says the court directed the Province to stop issuing authorizations for new industrial activities until the two sides could manage that combined effect in a way that respected the treaty. On 18 January 2023 the Nation and the Province announced the Blueberry River First Nations Implementation Agreement. According to the Nation, it protects areas from new oil and gas disturbance and forestry in high-value areas, sets limits on new surface land disturbance from oil and gas development, and creates a $200-million restoration fund that was to be fully funded by June 2025. The BC government's declaration page describes the agreement as a partnership approach to land, water and resource stewardship. A BC Hydro news release of 9 August 2025, datelined Fort St. John, says construction on the Site C project began in 2015 and the first generating unit came online in October 2024. The release reports that the sixth and final unit was commissioned, giving Site C a capacity of more than 1,100 megawatts.

Harold Earl Roche of Social Credit won it that year with 1,087 votes (53.23%). Jacob Francis Huhn of Social Credit won it in 1960 with 1,651 votes (46.21%) and in 1963 with 2,310 votes (69.43%). Dean Edward Smith of Social Credit won in 1966, 1969, 1972 and 1975, and his totals included 3,877 votes (73.23%) in 1969. Anthony Julius (Tony) Brummet of Social Credit won in 1979 with 6,598 votes (76.02%), in 1983 with 8,528 votes (76.71%) and in 1986 with 6,359 votes (67.21%). The volume for 1987 to 2001 says the Royal Commission on Electoral Boundaries recommended 75 single-member districts, and that its recommendations took effect on 19 September 1991. Peace River North first appears in the volume at the 1991 general election, where its results table prints the name as Peace North River. Richard Neufeld of Social Credit won it with 5,758 votes (54.79%). The volume says he sat as a Reform Party member from 14 March 1994 and as a Liberal from 7 October 1997. He won as a Reform candidate in 1996 with 5,299 votes (48.41%) and as a Liberal in 2001 with 6,629 votes (73.22%). The volume for 2002 to 2013 prints his 2005 win, with 5,498 votes (59.37%). Pat Pimm of the BC Liberal Party won in 2009 with 3,992 votes (43.15%) and in 2013 with 7,905 votes (58.94%). The same volume notes that Pimm sat as an Independent from 27 June 2011 and returned to the Liberals on 13 July 2011. Dan Davies won as a BC Liberal in 2017 with 9,707 votes (66.28%) and in 2020 with 6,746 votes (55.76%). The legislature's record lists him under BC United in the 42nd Parliament. In 2024 he received 3,038 votes (20.15%) as an Independent, and Jordan Kealy of the Conservative Party won with 11,213 votes (74.36%). The legislature's record for the 43rd Parliament lists Kealy as Independent. The commission's 2023 final report says the northern districts should keep their current boundaries, and lists this district at 175,813 square kilometres in the set used until 2024 and 175,795 in the new set, with 40,375 people in both. Elections BC's conversion table links all 59 of its voting areas to the former Peace River North, with one of them also overlapping Peace River South. The Legislative Assembly's website says the 43rd Parliament was dissolved on 22 September 2026 and a general election will be held on 24 October 2026.
