The Pemberton Story
The first people to call Pemberton their home were natives from the Interior
Salish tribe. They settled at the foot of Majestic Mount Currie and at the
head of Lillooet Lake.
During the 1880's, the area saw a large number of Europeans settle on the
rich farmlands, instead of continuing on the northern gold rush.
Pemberton was first settled via the waterway at Lillooet Lake, but entered
the age of the railway in 1914, when the first passenger train was established.
With regular train service and a dwindling gold rush, more families settled
in the valley to tap into the rich farmland and establish Pemberton, as
a growing area for world famous seed potatoes.
In 1967, the Pemberton Valley became the first commercial seed potato area
in the world to grow virus-free seed potatoes.
With the success of Whistler, Pemberton has experienced tremendous growth
in the past few years and has been one of Canada's fastest growing communities.
Today, Pemberton has two 18-hole golf courses, horseback riding, lots of
local lakes for fishing, hiking trails, mountain bike trails and is very
popular in the winter as a snowmobile recreation area.
