Ferguson
Country Canada
Province British Columbia

Ferguson is a ghost town located in the West Kootenay region of British Columbia. The town was located west of the junction of Ferguson and Lardeau Creeks.[1] Ferguson came into being with the discovery of gold in the region. In 1897 the Lardeau Hotel opened its doors. By 1899 Ferguson had a main street with hotels, merchants, and saloons, and a population of 800. There was even a newspaper called the Ferguson Eagle. The town eventually went into decline and by 1920 was almost deserted.[2]
