It is a land of unparalleled beauty, where the geography ranges from dense forests and pristine mountain lakes to arid cactus‐covered vistas, rugged canyons and open plains. The area is a major attraction for outdoor enthusiasts, offering a wealth of opportunities for mountain biking, ATVing, snowmobiling, kayaking, fishing, hunting, skiing (both downhill and cross‐country), camping, and hiking. As a destination, the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast offers a wide range of year‐round activities for the entire family. Not only is the region diverse in landscape and wildlife, it is rich in culture and history which are sure to keep your interest and provide a memorable experience. The History of Williams Lake On March 15th 1929 Williams Lake became incorporated. Williams Lake is named in honour of Shuswap (Secwepemc) chief William, whose counsel prevented the Shuswap from joining the Chilcotin in their uprising against the settler population. During the Cariboo Gold Rush in 1860, Gold Commissioner Philip Henry Nind and Chief Constable William Pinchbeck were sent from Victoria to organize a local government and maintain law and order. At the time, two pack trails led to the goldfields, one from the Douglas Road and another trail through the Fraser Canyon. Both met at Williams Lake, which made it a good choice for settlers and merchants. By 1861, Commissioner Nind had built a government house and had requested the funds to build a jail. With the center of local government being at Williams Lake, the miners and businessmen all had to travel there to conduct their business and soon the town had a post office, a courthouse, a roadhouse and the jail that Nind had requested. William Pinchbeck had been busy with building his own roadhouse, saloon and store. Eventually he owned most of the valley. In 1863, the town received news of the construction of the Cariboo Road which made them excited believing it would pass through their already established and important trading center. However, the road builder Gustavus Blin Wright rerouted the original trail so that it bypassed Williams Lake and went through 150 Mile House instead. The Williams Lake by‐pass doomed the city and accusations flew that Gustavus Blin Wright had changed the route for his own personal benefit as he owned a roadhouse at Deep Creek along the new route. Regardless of Wright's motives, Williams Lake was forgotten and wouldn't be reborn until nearly half a century later with the construction of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway, later BC Rail and now CN Rail.

Williams Lake now boasts 17 murals with more to come depicting our local history. Murals can be found all around the Lakecity, both in prominent locations and in intimate back alleys. Mural artist Dwayne Davis has been at the helm creating the murals which tell the story of the community in the past, present, and future. A brochure of the mural locations can be picked up at the Williams Lake Visitor Centre. Williams Lake – Wrestling Day January 2nd A Day to Call our Own, How `Wrestling Day` became to be.
