History
Sicamous is a small town located in the interior of British Columbia, Canada. Its history is closely tied to the development of transportation routes in the region, particularly those related to waterways and railways.
First Nations Presence: Before European settlement, the area around Sicamous was inhabited by various First Nations groups, including the Secwepemc (Shuswap) and the Syilx (Okanagan) peoples. They lived in the region for thousands of years, relying on the rich natural resources of the area.
Fur Trade Era: In the early 19th century, European fur traders and explorers, particularly those working for the Hudson's Bay Company and the North West Company, began to explore and establish trading posts in the interior of British Columbia. This brought them into contact with the First Nations peoples.
