The City of Williams Lake is located in the Central Interior of British Columbia, in the central part of a region known as the Cariboo. The community was first established in 1860 during the Cariboo Gold Rush as a central location that led to the goldfields. Today, Williams Lake is a hub for the forestry, logging, sawmilling, mining and ranching industries. With a population of over 11,000 residents, the City is a modern city proud of the western hospitality that makes this community an ideal place for businesses, families and retirees.
