| - Port Douglas ist eine Gemeinde in British Columbia am Harrison Lake, dem Ausgangspunkt der Straße von Georgia. Port Douglas oder auch einfach Douglas war während des Fraser-Canyon-Goldrauschs nach Yale die zweite bedeutende Ansiedlung im Kernland von British Columbia. Von Port Douglas ausgehend führte die (auch Lillooet Trail, Harrison Trail oder Lakes Route), eine Reiseroute über Land und Wasser, nach Lillooet. Während ihrer Glanzzeit hatte die Gemeinde tausende Einwohner. Viele der ersten Unternehmen auf dem Festlandsteil von British Columbia hatten dort ihren Ursprung, unter anderem , das sich nach Fertigstellung der in den 1860er Jahren am niederließ. Als die Douglas Road aufgegeben wurde, ging die Einwohnerzahl rapide zurück und heute ist die Gemeinde ganz verschwunden. Lediglich das Gebiet ist noch so benannt, und die benannte sich danach. Obwohl die Stadt längst ausgestorben war, verkehrten bis in die 1890er Jahre regelmäßig Dampfschiffe zwischen der Straße von Georgia, New Westminster und Port Douglas über den Fraser River. In den 1970er Jahren wurde im Zuge einer großen Holzfälleraktion die letzten Reste der Siedlung beseitigt. Port Douglas, die Douglas Road und die westlich des Sees gelegenen tragen ihren Namen zu Ehren von James Douglas, des ersten Gouverneurs von British Columbia. (de)
- Port Douglas, sometimes referred to simply as Douglas, is a remote community in British Columbia, Canada at east of the mouth of the Lillooet River, and at the head of Harrison Lake, which is the head of river navigation from the Strait of Georgia. Port Douglas was the second major settlement of any size on the British Columbia mainland (after Yale) during the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush. It came into being in 1858 when Governor Douglas ordered that it be laid out. From Port Douglas to Lillooet a mixed land and water route were built named the Douglas Road, a.k.a. the Lillooet Trail, Harrison Trail or Lakes Route. During its rowdy heyday, Port Douglas' population numbered in the thousands, and many of the BC mainland's first companies had their start here, including the famous B.X. Express and other freighting companies that relocated to the Fraser Canyon with the completion of the Cariboo Wagon Road in the mid-1860s. Port Douglas dwindled in size rapidly with the abandonment of the Douglas Road. Today, there is nothing left - other than the place-name and the adopted name of the local First Nation, the Douglas Band of the In-SHUCK-ch Nation. A land alienation pattern on the lakeshore to the southwest of Douglas, across the mouth of the Lillooet River and down the lake a bit, remains on the map as (also known as Tipella, or Tipella Hot Springs). It was a port and land-promotion scheme from 1898 that never went far, although a number of investors and buyers were taken in by it. The port was a wharf for the Moneyspinner silver mine at Fire Lake which operated for a few years. Regular steamboat traffic to Port Douglas from Georgia Strait and New Westminster via the Fraser River ended in the 1890s, although the town was already in decline, only a handful of non-native residents remained. In the 1970s, a large logging operation bulldozed the last remains of the town, which were only vestiges of a few foundations. Both Port Douglas and the Douglas Road, as well as the Douglas Ranges to the west of Harrison Lake, were named in honour of the first governor of the Colony of British Columbia, Sir James Douglas. The Indian reserve community of Xa'xtsa, home to the Douglas First Nation, who are part of the St'at'imc cultural group but have many ties to the Sto:lo of the Lower Mainland, is located on Douglas Indian Reserve No. 8 which is across Little Harrison Lake, as the bay which became the site of the steamer port is known, from the location of what had been Port Douglas proper. The name Port Douglas today generally refers to that community and its location, as nothing remains of the frontier-era town. (en)
