DOG CREEK
Is a small back road community, east of the Fraser River about 80 kilometers south of Williams Lake and just east of the Gang Ranch in the Cariboo Chilcotin. A Shuswap (Secwepemc) village used to run here, although other First Nations people continue to live here in nearby Canoe Creek (Sexqeltqin). The earliest white settlers arrived in the Dog Creek Valley arrived around the 1850’s and Dog Creek soon grew as a result. Dog Creek House, a hotel founded J.S. Place, A Dog Creek pioneer and many members of the Place family, burned in 1966.
