CGNDB entry. [the explanatory phrase "....in 1862 Lillooet became "Mile Zero" for the numbering of the mile houses along the Cariboo Wagon Road...." has been misinterpreted by CGNDB staff to mean that Mile Zero was another name for Lillooet itself.] Source: Canadian Geographical Names Database, Ottawa |
