The History of Seton Portage

Step back in time with me as I explore the fascinating history of Seton Portage, British Columbia — a small community with deep roots in the gold rush era, Indigenous history, transportation routes, and hydroelectric development. In this video, we visit: • An abandoned roadside bank safe with a mysterious past • Traditional Indigenous-built plank houses and the history surrounding them • The massive hydroelectric projects that transformed the region • A historic 1890s church that still stands as a reminder of early settlement in the area Set between Seton Lake and Anderson Lake, Seton Portage played an important role in the history of British Columbia, from the Douglas Road and early travel routes to industrial expansion in the 20th century. This area is filled with hidden stories, forgotten artifacts, and incredible scenery.
