    The Klondike Gold Rush took place in what state?

    Question #5559. Asked by Maggie. (Aug 31 00 12:11 PM)


    JReid

    		The Klondike was a part of Alaska, but the gold rush, which began in 1892, also spilled over into neighboring Yukon Territory, a Canandian possession.

    NOTE: The Klondike Gold Rush, infrequently referred to as the Yukon Gold Rush or Alaska Gold Rush, was a frenzy of gold rush immigration to and for gold prospecting, along the Klondike River near Dawson City, Yukon, after gold was discovered there in the late 19th century.
