History:
Originally known as Quayome, Boston Bar, was home to the Nlaka'pamux tribe of First Nation. In their mother tongue, Chinook Jargon, the name was derived to describe the "Bostons", whitemen who came from the south. "Bar", in English of course, referred to gold-bearing sand bar or sandy riverbed.

Boston Bar was a frequented stop over during the times of the gold rush (late-1800's). It has since developed very little, and the incredible views have made it the newest stop-over, tourist highlight of today!
