Bennett, British Columbia, Canada, is an abandoned town next to Bennett Lake[1] and along Lindeman Creek (formerly known as the One Mile River).

History
[edit]
Bennett was built during the Klondike Gold Rush of 1897–1899 at the end of the White Pass and Chilkoot Trails from the nearby ports of Skagway and Dyea in Alaska. Gold prospectors would pack their supplies over the Coast Mountains from the ports and then build or purchase rafts to take them down the Yukon River to the gold fields around Dawson City, Yukon. When the White Pass and Yukon Route Railroad was completed in 1900 it went right to Whitehorse, passing the town. This led the entire economy of Bennett, based on stampeders and river travelers, to collapse.[3]
One of the establishments in Bennett was the Arctic Hotel, a combination saloon, restaurant, and hotel[4] set up by Friedrich "Fred" Trump (grandfather of Donald Trump) and Ernest Levin.[3] The establishment included a brothel,[4][5][6] a portrayal that Donald Trump said was "totally false".[4]
