Köppen climate type:
A small community, originally established for prospectors, located on the shore of Atlin Lake.
Before 1898 very little was known of Atlin Division beyond the fact that it contained number of large lakes and big game; early in that year Fritz Miller, a German, and Kenneth Maclaren, a Canadian, left the Klondike trail at Bennett and, travelling on the ice, crossed Taku arm and Atlin lake to find gold in Pine creek. This stream they followed up, prospecting as they went, and finally decided to stake a claim about 6 miles from the mouth of the creek, where Pine City was eventually established. Dearth of supplies forced them to return to Juneau and from there the discovery of gold in the district was made known.
