USK
Is a tiny, unincorporated community nestled on the Skeena River, 20 kilometers northeast of Terrace. The community started out as a Grand Trunk Pacific Railway station in 1912. The Yellowhead Highway (Highway #16) passes by the community side of the Skeena River. The train does not stop in Usk anymore, however the community has survived thanks to maintaining its link with the outside world via a cable reaction ferry that goes across the river towards the main highway. Usk is named after either the birthplace of David Lloyd George or is the Tsimshian word for “stink”.
USK'S POPULATION: 34
