Cities usually have a logical reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for instance, is near a large harbor at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over three hundred years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom tows grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896 Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness. But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the west.
Dawson didn’t have any of "the natural conveniences of cities" like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They traveled over Snow-covered Mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The trail to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could collapse without warning. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.
But no matter how rich you were, Dawson was never comfortable. The instant city of tents and cabins offered few luxuries. And necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard rumors of new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson city as quickly as they had come. One third left the first week, and the rest soon followed. Today, people still come and go – to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson city.
