Carmacks, Yukon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carmacks is a village in the Yukon on the Yukon River along the Klondike Highway, and at the west end of the Robert Campbell Highway from Watson Lake. Population 392 (Yukon Bureau of Statistics, Dec. 2004). Home of the Little Salmon/Carmacks First Nation, a Northern Tutchone language people. Carmacks is the site of one of the four bridges over the Yukon River.
It was named after George Carmack, one of the discoverers of gold in the Klondike, who had tried mining coal in the area in the early 1890s. The area around Carmacks has large mineral resources, including coal, copper, and gold but none are actively mined today.
