People settled in the Yukon territory in the late 1800s because gold was discovered there and people wanted to find fortune.

The famous Klondike gold rush in the late 1890s made Yukon a well-known place for gold. Gold was discovered in 1896 in the Yukon territory at the meeting point of the Yukon and Klondike rivers. Dawson City located at this confluence was soon the home settlement of close to 40,000 people.
