Dawson City, Yukon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1130 words)
Dawson was incorporated as a city in 1902 when it met the criteria for "city" status under the municipal act of that time.
When a new municipal act was adopted in the 1980s, Dawson met the criteria of "town", and was incorporated as such, although with a special provision to allow it to continue to use the word "City", partially for historic reasons, partially to distinguish it from Dawson Creek, a small city in northeastern British Columbia.
John Steins, a local artist and one of the leaders of the movement to restore democracy to Dawson, was acclaimed as mayor, while 13 residents ran for the 4 council seats.
