Hill's Bar is a long-abandoned ghost town, really only the
site of a former ghost town, located in the
Fraser Canyon region of
British Columbia. The site of the former boomtown is situated near right bank of Fraser River, between
Yale and mouth of
Emory Creek. The eponymous bar was the first active placer mining site at the onset of the
Fraser Canyon Gold Rush, and was the scene of the Boatmakers of San Francisco claim, which included
Ned McGowan of
McGowan's War, and involved a dispute with Kowpelst (White Hat), chief of the
Spuzzum people.
