Highlights of History from The Whitehorse Star
Explorer's Guides to Yukon Communities
The Whitehorse Star today
These highlights have been greatly expanded from lists originally compiled by the Hougen Group of companies. That section of the Hougen website was deleted in the spring of 2019, but luckily, we had downloaded it (as we do many particularly useful websites that we think may disappear), and that formed the foundation for this ongoing, ever-changing project.
History is subjective. What we hear, read, and view is determined by the people who present such history. Everyone has filters - conscious or unconscious - and that determines what we learn. In choosing which information to post here, we have attempted to give a wide range of of topics, including mining, transportation, big game guiding/hunting, biographies, tragedies and triumphs, quirky comments on life at a specific point in history, and world events that affected the Yukon.
Our long-term goal is to have 3 entries per issue. As of November 30, 2023, there are a total of 7,512 entries:
- 1900-1909: 1,003
- 1910-1919: 975
- 1920-1929: 1,084
- 1930-1939: 433
- 1940-1949: 1,015
- 1950-1959: 946
- 1960-1969: 666
- 1970-1979: 527
- 1980-1989: 594
- 1990-1999: 82
- 2000-2009: 43
- 2010-2019: 78
- 2020- : 66
