Fort St John, British Columbia

​Fort St. John is The Energetic City, located in the heart of majestic Peace River country. With it’s population at 19,000 it is the largest town in northeastern BC. It has a resource base of oil, natural gas, forestry and agriculture, which make it a young and vibrant place to call home.
In March 1942 the construction of the Alaska Highway began and in a few short years Fort St. John’s population swelled to 2,000. With the completion of the Alaska Highway, only 8 months later in October 1942, the American troops left and the population dropped to 700.
On July 1, 1975 incorporation as a city took place and Fort St. John hasn’t looked back.
The city is rich in natural resources; mainly oil and gas, timber, hydroelectricity and agriculture. More grain, seed and honey is produced here than anywhere else in BC.
