Dawson Creek, British Columbia, was named after a creek that was named in honor of George Dawson, a Canadian geologist and surveyor. He explored the area in the late 19th century while conducting geological surveys. The creek was named in 1879, and the town itself developed around the intersection of the Alaska Highway and the railway, ultimately adopting the name Dawson Creek in the early 20th century.
