Keno City, Yukon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Keno City, Yukon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Keno City is a small community in the Yukon at the end of the Silver Trail highway. Population was about 20 in 2001. Site of a former silver-lead mining area on Keno Hill, Keno City is 13 kilometres away from Elsa, Yukon, which long eclipsed Keno City in population. Rich silver and lead ore deposits were found on Keno Hill in 1919, and the population of the community has fluctuated with the fortunes of the mine. Keno City was named after the gambling game Keno popular in mining camps at the turn of the 20th century. A small mining operation is behind Keno City. Keno City is now the largest community in the area, and has a museum with an extensive collection dedicated to the history of mining in the Yukon. There is a signpost on the top of Keno Hill showing distances to places around the world.

It is located at Mile 69.1 of the Silver Trail, Yukon Highway 11.

The 2004 Kim Barlow album "Luckyburden" is about Keno City. Two tracks are recorded live at the Keno City Snackbar.

Population in 2003: 3 people
