Palliser, British Columbia

Palliser is an abandoned townsite beside the Kicking Horse River between Field and Golden in British Columbia.

There is nothing really there now (but it is still marked on some maps, and may be of some historic significance).

The town was named after John Palliser, who led the 1863 Palliser Expedition.

According to Paul Mariani, The Whole Harmonium, the Life of Wallace Stevens, the poet Stevens visited Palliser in 1903, at which time the population was eight.

The 1911 Census of Canada lists 8 people living in Palliser.
