BEND
Is an abandoned community and station on the Canadian National Railway, located on the Fraser River, 110 kilometers east of Prince George and just west of Dome Creek. During its prime, Bend was mostly are reliable on the forest industry and in fact, a sawmill was built just after World War One (WWI). During the 1930s, a post office and a school were also operational here. Today, Bend is basically an abandoned community although residents in nearby Dome Creek travel and work in Prince George. Bend is named after the Canadian National Railway’s 90-degree turn near here.
