Dawson City, in the Yukon Territory of Canada was important in the Gold Rush years of 1896-1899 for a number of reasons. Chief among them was its location. The Klondike and Yukon Rivers meet at Dawson City, meaning prospectors who worked both river basins would pass through the area on their way in and out of the gold fields. Due to its location, Dawson City was the first place new prospectors could outfit themselves for their work with any items they had failed to bring with them; and for returning prospectors to change their gold into cash. A boom town grew up quickly in the area offering lots of ways to relieve the prospectors of their new found wealth. The importance of Dawson City can be summed up in three words: Location, location, location.
