Revelstoke began in the 1880s as a
transportation and supply center for the
mining industry. This was soon bolstered
by the construction of the
trans-continental railway and the
subsequent decision of the Canadian
Pacific railway to establish its main
operations offices and maintenance
facilities for the Shuswap and Mountain
Subdivisions in Revelstoke.
Today, Revelstoke has a reputation for
community living in a spectacular and
historic mountain setting. The community
is rich in natural environmental beauty,
and history, offering a unique blend of
cultural events and out doors
activities.
