WELCOME TO OSOYOOS 2013 Official Visitor’s GuideCall of the OkanaganValleyFur, gold, farming and ranchingattracted new people to the Osoyoosregion. The first recorded whiteexplorer and fur trader came to the areain 1811 with the Pacific Fur Company,following a trail north from FortOkanogan, in what is now WashingtonState. The Hudson’s Bay Company tookover the lucrative fur trade and thetrail in 1821. Known as the Fur BrigadeTrail, HBC utilized the route from theOkanagan Valley to Fort Kamloops andpoints north until 1846.The discovery of gold 30 mileseast of Osoyoos at Rock Creek in1859 brought the next onslaught ofAmerican pioneers, turning the areainto a major crossroads. Progresscontinued with the establishment ofa Customs Port of Entry in 1860 andconstruction of a Customs Building in1862. The Dewdney Trail, completed toRock Creek in 1861, is now Highway 3.A government building of heavy logsconsisting of living quarters and anannex for two jail cells, constructed in1892, now serves as the main room ofthe local museum.The next boon came from cattle ranchesset up to feed nearby mining campsand communities. A new opportunitypresented itself when an engineerplanted 12 hectares of peaches,cherries, pears, plums, apricots andapples in 1907. This was the start ofcommercial fruit growing, whichcontinues to typify the area today. Theintroduction of irrigation on the westside of the lake in 1927 brought moresettlers and Osoyoos incorporated as avillage in 1946.Discover more local history throughmany interesting exhibits andcollections at the Osoyoos & DistrictMuseum and Archives.All-round artsOsoyoos’s dramatic surroundings,unique flora and fauna and a vividhistory entice and inspire the artisticsenses.
