'''Yukon Territory''' is part of [[Canada]] east of the American state of [[Alaska]]
In 1825 the [[Arctic]] Coastline of what would become the '''Yukon Territory''' was visited by the British explorer [[Sir John Franklin]]. The Klondike Gold rush commenced in August 1896 and The Yukon was declared a separate Territory in 1898 to better control the situation. Mining, and tourism remain economic mainstays; along with transfers from the federal government, now 40% of Yukoners work directly for one form of government or another.
