About
In the heart of Jasper National Park sits the town of Jasper. This friendly community got its start as a railway town named Fitzhugh. In 1913 the small settlement was renamed in honour of Jasper Hawes, a voyageur and trading post manager. It wasn’t long before word spread of the area’s astonishing beauty. Today, approximately 5,000 people live here year round and welcome the travellers who want to experience life in an authentic mountain town.
