Terrace

Terrace City in Northern BC, is considered to be the oldest constantly occupied part of the globe. The area was populated even before the people from Europe settled in the region, by the Kitsumkalum and the Kitselas peoples. These groups make up two of the Tsimshian tribes within the Terrace area. There traditional economies comprised largely of fishing, hunting and trade. The riverboats which before operated for 22 years in the region came to a halt and was substituted by the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. At first, it was called "Littleton" in honor of George Little, who donated 47 acres to the Grand Pacific Railway. Then again, ever since there was already a Littleton in New Brunswick, the name was changed to "Terrace" in reference to its geography.
