Williams Lake is a city located within the Central Interior of British Columbia. The city is located within the central region of the province called the Cariboo. It is the largest urban center between Prince George and Kamloops. The population of the city is around 10,744.

Williams Lake has for over 100 years been a service center and focal point for many ranches in and around the Cariboo and Chilcotin regions.

The city of Williams Lake was established by a single building within the Comer and Glendale region. During the 1840s, a small chapel was constructed inside a Shuswap settlement. The church and encampment flourished with the influx of European gold prospectors and fur traders and ultimately, the region turned into a small service centre.

The friendly and relaxed environment makes it an excellent place to explore the neighboring regions. The central location of the city has made it a great place to visit.
