Paulson is a ghost town in the Boundary Country region of south central British Columbia.

This siding became a flag stop on the former Canadian Pacific Railway (CP) line in 1902.

That year, brothers Thomas Henry, John William, and George Alfred Paulson, applied for a liquor licence for their new hotel, which housed a general store/post office.

In 1904, the post office was renamed Paulson, and George died of injuries sustained when struck by a freight train on the Red Mountain railway.

[3] The population was likely larger when a sawmill operated around 1910, but more representative would be 25 in 1918,[4] and 23 in 1944, of which half were CP employees, and a quarter involved in mining.
