  • The City of Dawson Creek is a small city in northeastern British Columbia, Canada. The municipality of 20.66 square kilometers (7.98 sq mi) had a population of 15,000 in 2009. Dawson Creek derives its name from the creek of the same name that runs through the community. The creek was named after George Mercer Dawson by a member of his land survey team when they passed through the area in August 1879. Once a small farming community, Dawson Creek became a regional centre when the western terminus of the Northern Alberta Railways was extended there in 1932. The community grew rapidly in 1942 as the US Army used the rail terminus as a transshipment point during construction of the Alaska Highway. In the 1950s, the city was connected to the interior of British Columbia via a highway and railway through the Rocky Mountains. Since the 1960s, growth has slowed. Dawson Creek is located in the dry and windy prairie land of the Peace River Country. As the seat of the Peace River Regional District and a service centre for the rural areas south of the Peace River, the city has been called the "Capital of the Peace". It is also known as the "Mile 0 City", referring to its location at the southern end of the Alaska Highway. The community is home to a heritage interpretation village, an art gallery, and a museum. Annual events include a fall fair and a spring rodeo.
  • Dawson Creek ist eine Kleinstadt im Nordosten von British Columbia in Kanada. Es hat eine Fläche von 20.66 km² und 11.290 Einwohner (2004). Die Stadt hat den Beinamen „Mile 0 City“ (dt. Stadt der nullten Meile), da sie den südlichen Abschluss bzw. Anfang des Alaska Highway bildet. Die zugehörige Wegmarke Mile 0 Post ist Hauptelement der Stadtflagge. Der Name Dawson Creek stammt vom Bach (engl. creek) desselben Namens, der durch die Stadt fließt und von einem Landvermesser im August 1879 nach George Mercer Dawson benannt wurde. Da die Stadt Dienstleistungszentrum des ländlichen Umlandes südlich des Peace River, Sitz des Peace River Regional District und Verkehrsknotenpunkt auf dem Weg von Alberta in den Teil British Columbias nördlich der Rocky Mountains ist, gab sie sich den Titel The Capital of the Peace (dt. Hauptstadt des Friedens).
  • La Ciudad de Dawson Creek es un pequeño cono urbano al noreste de Columbia Británica, Canadá. Comprende un área de 20,66 km² con una población, según el censo de a 2006, de unos 11.615 habitantes. Conocida como "la Capital de la Paz", es el servicio central de muchas áreas rurales al sur del río Peace y la capital del distrito regional de Peace River. Dawson Creek pasó de ser una pequeña comunidad granjera a convertirse en centro regional, cuando la terminal oeste de los Ferrocarriles de Alberta se extendió hasta allí en 1932, y la Armada de los Estados Unidos usó esa misma terminal como punto de transporte en 1942 durante la construcción de la autopista Alaska. El mayor desarrollo de la ciudad ocurrió entre 1942 y 1966 cuando se construyeron autovías y ferrovías conectando el área rural del campo del río Peace con el resto de Columbia Británica a través de Dawson Creek. Dawson Creek debe su nombre al arroyo del mismo nombre que corre por la ciudad. El mismo fue llamado así en honor a George Mercer Dawson, por un miembro de su equipo de medición de terrenos cuando pasaron por la zona en agosto de 1879. La ciudad, en el extremo sur de la autovía de Alaska, es conocida como la "Ciudad de la Milla 0" y es también la sede de un parque de atracciones regional, de un pueblo de la interpretación patrimonial, y de la Universidad de Northern Lights.

  • 道森河市(英文:City of Dawson Creek)是加拿大英屬哥倫比亞省東北部的小城市。面積約為20.66平方公里(7.98平方英里),2007年時人口有11811人。道森克里克的命名源自於流過社區的同名小河。小河名稱是由喬治·墨瑟·道森的土地測量小組的一名成員,在他們於1879年8月經過當地時,以道森為名而命名的。昔日的小農耕社區,道森河市在北亞伯達鐵路的西方總站延伸至當地後,搖身一變成了區域中心。社區在1942年,因美國陸軍在建造阿拉斯加公路期間,使用鐵路總站作為轉運站而飛快成長。到了1950年代,城市經由貫穿洛磯山脈的公路與鐵路,連接至英屬哥倫比亞省內陸。自1960年代起,發展已趨緩慢。 道森河市座落於乾燥多風的和平河城郊的大草原地。作為和平河南部鄉村的服務中心與和平河區的所在地,道森河市常被稱為「和平的首都」。道森河市另有一名「零哩市」,指的是它位處阿拉斯加公路南方的終點。社區中內設有遺產解說村莊、畫廊及博物館。一年一度的盛事包括秋季博覽會以及春季馬術競賽會。
