Volcanic City is a ghost town located in the Boundary Country region of British Columbia. It is located near the north fork of the Kettle River. A prospector named Volcanic Brown discovered an "iron cap" mountain near the north fork of the Kettle river. Volcanic Brown claimed the mountain was rich for mining. Brown tried to create a city in the vicinity of the mountain. He assumed miners would be attracted to the mountain and they would live in the city.
