Welcome to Stewart CrossingStewart Crossing is a settlement in the Yukon territory of Canada, located on the Klondike Highway at the junction with the Silver Trail. A Yukon government highway maintenance camp and a highway lodge are the most prominent facilities at the location. Stewart Crossing had a population of 35 in the Canada 2006 Census. In 1883 the Stewart River was first prospected and in 1886, the traders “Jack” McQuesten, Arthur Harper and Al Mayo established a trading post at the mouth of the Stewart River to supply the miners but in that year a rich gold strike on the Fortymile River drew most of the prospectors out of this region. In 1950, the new all-reason road between Whitehorse and Mayo crossed the Stewart River here and Jack McDiarmid and the Van Bibbers operated the ferry. Jack and Mary McDiarmid purchased some old sawmill buildings and moved them to the landing as a residence and Mary ran a lunch bar for travellers. When the Stewart Crossing Bridge was built in 1960, the McDiarmids added gas pumps and a tire repair service to their business. |
