Music Tour of Jasper, Canada - Unravel Travel TV
From trading post to a bustling town, it was the little community that could. Over one hundred years ago, Jasper Forest Park first came to be and was named after the popular fur trading post operator, Jasper Hawes. By 1911, the Park saw the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway line reach Mile 112. What was then called the town of Fitzhugh - flourished around the new railway station, and by 1913 the name was changed to Jasper to complement the Park. A community was born and stone and timber were turned in to the historical treasures we still see today.
To take in the charm of Jasper is to linger in the heart of the town and wander back in time at the sight of the Jasper National Park Information Centre, the train station, post office, old fire hall, Jackman House, Robson House and CIBC buildings. Channel your inner explorer and embark on a memorable tour of Jasper's rich history that includes storied adventures of the early settlers, railway pioneers and outfitter guides who created a life amidst the majestic Rockies. Visit the Jasper-Yellowhead Museum & Archives at 400 Pyramid Lake Road.

Jasper is a small community in western Alberta, Canada, located within Jasper National Park, in the Canadian Rockies within the Athabasca River Valley. Governance is shared between the community and the federal Parks Canada Agency. Jasper is approximately 225 mi west of Edmonton and 180 miles north of Banff, Alberta. mikeminnesota made a video of the town so you know what it looks like and want to visit.
Jasper town got Established in 1813 as Jasper House first a North West Company, and later Hudson's Bay Company. Both fur trade outposts on the York Factory Express trade route to what was then called New Caledonia (now British Columbia), and Fort Vancouver in Columbia District on the lower Columbia River.
Jasper National Park was established in 1907. The railway siding at the location of the future townsite was established by Grand Trunk Pacific Railway in 1911 and originally named Fitzhugh after a Grand Trunk vice president. The Canadian Northern Railway began service to Fitzhugh in 1912. The townsite was surveyed in 1913. It was renamed Jasper after the former fur trade post. By 1931, Jasper was accessible by road from Edmonton, and in 1940 the scenic Icefields Parkway opened, connecting Lake Louise and Jasper.
Located near Jasper are Pyramid Lake and Patricia Lake, as well as Lake Annette, Lake Edith, Lac Beauvert, Maligne Lake, Medicine Lake and other smaller lakes. The Jasper Skytram, which takes visitors to The Whistlers' summit, and the Marmot Basin ski resort are located near the town, as is the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge. The Jasper-Yellowhead Museum and Archives is located in the Jasper town site, as is the Jasper Visitor Centre.

My name is Sheila Willis of Impact Tourism, the developer of the History Check App.
Welcome History Bytes, your daily dose of Alberta HIstory Trivia. Brought to you in partnership with Belt Drive Betty Media and the Candian Motorcycle Tourism Association.
You can Register to answer the questions for a shot to win prizes or just take the quiz to satisfy your own brain power! Either way, we are excited to see how much of Alberta’s History you really know!
Yesterday's question was:
The sign for Highway 16 in Alberta displays a yellow head because:
They wanted it to be visible in the dark
To recognize an explorer named Pierre
To match the yellow line.
If you answered B) you would be correct. To recognize a guy named Pierre, also known as Tete Jaune. Pierre was an Iroquois trapper, trader and explorer, who happened to have blond hair, or in French Tete Juane - yellow head.
His other names were Pierre Bostanais or Pierre Hastination. Because I sound things out phonetically and butcher words, I am going to call him Pierre.
In the 18th and 19th centuries Pierre worked with both the North West Company and the Hudson’s Bay. And in 1819 led a brigade of Hudson’s Bay men through the pass that would later bear his name - the Yellowhead pass.
The Hudson’s Bay Company used the Yellowhead for brief periods from the mid 1820’s to the early 1950’s to transport leather and especially moose hides from the Saskatchewan District to New Caledonia, which back in the day was a fur trading area in the North Central area of what we now know as B.C.
Eventually the pass would become part of the routes of Grand Trunk Pacific and Canadian Northern, now the CNR, Railway Routes and later still part of the major highway crossing the Rocky mountains - or the Yellowhead Highway which runs from Winnipeg to the Coast of BC.
If it is your route in Alberta there is plenty to see and do along the highway from Elk Island National Park in the east to Jasper and area in the west.

Come back tomorrow for the answer and the story that goes along with it.
Then we will load you up with the next question.. Enjoy!

Timeline: Prehistory - Aboriginal people have been aware of this pass for centuries. Its low elevation makes it an important prehistoric travel route.
Jasper Alberta Yellowhead Pass Historical Timeline:
1825 - James Macmillan and Pierre Bostonais began surveying the pass to determine the feasibility of using it as a route to transport leather to New Caledonia.
1826 - Sir George Simpson orders Yellowhead Pass to be used as the route to carry dressed leather from the Saskatchewan district to New Caledonia.
1853 - Yellowhead Pass falls into steady disuse after shipping from Fort Victoria becomes the preferred mode of transportation for furs west of the continental divide.
1859-1863 - Many parties of Overlanders use this Jasper pass while en route to the Cariboo goldfields in British Columbia.
1872 - The pass is chosen by Sir Sanford Fleming as a route for the Canadian Pacific Railway, but is later rejected in favour of the Kicking Horse Pass route.
November, 1911 - Grand Trunk Pacific Railway construction reaches Jasper Alberta's now known Yellowhead Pass. Regular freight service was available August, 1914, with passenger service following in September.
December, 1913 - Canadian Northern Railway track is laid through Yellowhead Pass. Due to delays in construction of bridges and trestles, the railway line to the border with British Columbia did not open until 1915.
1923 - The Grand Trunk Pacific becomes part of Canadian National Railways. Canadian Northern had been absorbed by Canadian National in 1917. The CNR would continue to operate this national railway through Yellowhead Pass from that day forward.
1970 - The Yellowhead Inter-Provincial Highway is officially opened. It would later be known as the Trans-Canada Yellowhead Highway 16.
1971 - The importance of Jasper Alberta's Yellowhead Pass as a travel corridor receives official recognition. It is designated as national historic site and commemorated with a historical plaque.
