Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada 03

Description : In 1900, construction of the White Pass and Yukon railway from Skagway to a point past the White Horse rapids was completed and Whitehorse came into being at its railhead. For years, Whitehorse continued its role connecting rail service with riverboat traffic to Dawson. In 1920, the first plane landed. In 1942, thousands of American Army personnel arrived to build the Alaska Highway. The boom ceased by the end of the war, but Whitehorse had become an important centre of communications and transportation. Whitehorse was incorporated as a City in 1950 and in 1953 the capital of the Yukon was transferred from Dawson City to Whitehorse.
