Princeton

Few towns in British Columbia’s Similkameen Country have a history as closely tied to coal mining and rail transport as Princeton. Set where the Tulameen River meets the Similkameen River, the town occupies a broad interior valley in southern British Columbia. Coal deposits shaped Princeton’s early twentieth-century growth, while the Kettle Valley Railway connected it with other communities across the province’s south. Today, the former rail corridor forms part of the Kettle Valley Rail Trail for walkers and cyclists, and the Similkameen Valley remains associated with ranching, orchards and vineyards.
