Hazelton is a village in Cassiar Land District, British Columbia, Canada. It is classified as a town. Hazelton is located at 55.2558°N, 127.6756°W.

Hazelton rests where the Skeena River, a wide, jade ribbon, carves its way through a broad valley, embraced by mountains that rise in layered shades of deep green and bruised twilight. It lies 5.8 km west-north-west of New Hazelton, BC (from New Hazelton, BC: bearing 284°T), and is situated 10.7 km south of Kispiox. The air here carries the damp scent of cedar and the sharp tang of pine, a constant whisper from the surrounding forests that climb the steep slopes. Even on a clear day, a soft, diffused light often filters through the sky, lending a gentle, almost ethereal quality to the landscape. The terrain itself is a study in contrasts: flat, fertile benches suitable for cultivation give way abruptly to rugged, tree-clad hills, hinting at the wilder country that lies just beyond the visible horizon. This place has long been a crossroads, a vital meeting point for people and currents, its history deeply entwined with the Gitxsan people, whose ancestral lands stretch across this territory, their stories echoing in the land. The arrival of European settlers brought a surge of activity, particularly with the construction of the railway, which transformed Hazelton into a bustling hub for trade and transportation, a lifeline connecting the interior to the coast. The local economy, while still drawing from the bounty of the rivers and forests, has evolved, with a growing appreciation for the region's natural beauty attracting visitors and supporting a more diversified range of businesses. The distinctive character of Hazelton is a blend of hardy resilience, a quiet connection to the land, and a deep-seated pride in its unique heritage, a feeling that settles over you like the soft, persistent mist that sometimes blankets the valley floor.
