Creston has served as an agricultural centre in British Columbia’s Kootenay region since the early 20th century. Set in the broad Creston Valley near the Kootenay River, the town is framed by the Purcell Mountains to the west and the Selkirk Mountains to the east. Orchards, vineyards and market gardens remain central to the local identity, with the valley’s long growing season supporting a notable farm-to-table culture. Just north of town, the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area protects extensive wetlands used by migratory birds and other wildlife.
