Aerial View of Peachland

In 2009, Peachland celebrated its Centennial. Until 1885, only the most intrepid explorers ventured into the Okanagan Valley. In that year, the situation west of the Rockies changed irrevocably with the completion of the Canadian Pacific Railway. A subsequent spur line to Okanagan Landing in 1892 and the launch in 1893 of the SS Aberdeen opened up the Okanagan Valley to settlers. Several communities, including Peachland, Summerland, Penticton, and Naramata, were founded soon after. By 1898, Peachland had its first schoolhouse, which still stands, and its first post office. On January 1st, 1909, Peachland, with its population of about 200, was officially incorporated as a District. Now, close to 6,400 people call Peachland home.
