The town of Peace River's most famous former resident was named Henry Muller, an American prospector and trader.
Arriving in the mid-1800s, he earned his nickname, 12-Foot-Davis, by shrewdly staking claim on a 12-foot plot of land located between two productive, larger mines, extracting enough gold to establish a number of trading posts that would compete with the powerful Hudson's Bay Company.
