Twelve Foot Davis

Peace River is known for a number of historic facts and legendary figures. One of the most famous figures was Henry Fuller Davis, nicknamed “Twelve Foot Davis,” by staking a 12’ claim between two other claims during the gold rush which netted Davis more than $15,000 worth of gold. He later built a trading post close to where the Town of Peace River stands today. The Twelve Foot Davis statue can be found at River Front Park in downtown Peace River.
