Whitehorse
The city of Whitehorse was established as a trans-shiipment point during
the Klondike Gold Rush of 1898. It was originally given the name "White
Horse" by the gold miners who thought that the rapids at Miles Canyon
looked like the manes of charging white horses. Whitehorse was
incorporated as a city in 1950.
Whitehorse surprises many visitors
with its development and sophistiication. Despite a population of only
22, 000, the city offers all the comfort and amenitiies of a much larger
Southern city: two golf courses, a hot springs, fine dining, museums, and
an assortment of spa and salon offerings.
