Gold miners rushing to Wild Horse in British Columbia in 1863 were paddled across this river by Indians; in 1864 E.L. Bonner established a proper ferry here.

This ferry and its trading store served the Wild Horse packtrains for many years. Streamers — the first tiny one dragged in overland — came to the river in the 1880's, and the Great Northern Railway arrived in 1892. A thriving town soon sprang up where once the ferryman and his family had been the only white people.
