Kettle Valley

Kettle Valley is on the south side of the Kettle River in the Boundary region of south central British Columbia. The unincorporated settlement, on Kettle Valley Rd S. (off BC Highway 3), is by road about 29 km west of Greenwood and 56 km east of Osoyoos.

Name origin
The name came from the Kettle Valley Railway presence.

Railway
The former train station, on the north side of the Kettle River, was 8.8 mi northwest of Midway, and 2.9 mi east of Rock Creek. The final passenger train ran in 1964.

Community
The post office operated 1913–1975. By 1918, the rural hamlet also had an Anglican church and population of 60. Nowadays, most residences lie south of the river, across the concrete-decked bridge which replaced the war-surplus Bailey bridge in 2001.
