Vernon
Vernon is named after Forbes George Vernon who was an MLA of British Columbia that was influential in finding the infamous Coldstream Ranch at Coldstream and Vernon became a city after incorporation in December 30, 1892.
The site for the city was first discovered by the Okanagan people naming it ‘Nintle Moos Chin’ in reference to jumping where the creek narrows based on Swan Lake that passes through downtown Vernon. 1811 is when fur trade began, and many fur traders settled in Vernon in 1863 after discovery of gold in Cherry Creek, Monashee Mountains and Mission Creek east Okanagan Lake. The first post office, hotel, general store and school house where constructed in 1885.
Vernon’s major economic hub status historically was started off by the many cattle ranches and fruit orchards that attracted many British families. The Canadian Pacific Railway expanded Vernon after its establishment in 1891 while the Okanagan Mounted Rifles in 1908 brought soldier trainings for the World wars. Vernon was incorporated to a city on December 30, 1982 with a city hall formed in 1903 and it was declared the largest municipality in 1904 having a bank and telephone. A school, hospital and public services followed in 1909. The World War did not stop the city growth with a new high school, sports stadium, a shopping mall and library.
