Nazko, British Columbia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nazko is a small First Nations community located 100 km west of Quesnel on the Nazko River in central British Columbia, Canada. Nazko means, "river flowing from the south".
Nazko is the Gateway to the Nuxalk Carrier Grease-Alexander Mackenzie Heritage Trail. It has a sizeable First Nations reserve, and is well known in the Ranching history.
The first schools were built in 1950 by the ranchers and homesteaders and in 1960 by the government of Canada.
Nazko is not far from the Nazko Cone which last erupted 7,200 years ago. However, seismic activity at the volcano has continued since October 10, 2007.
