History:
The Interior Salish populated mush of the Cariboo along with the Chilcotin tribes. Their land was vast, included hunting of large animals for food and clothing, and their patterns for living off the land generated semi-nomadic habits due to the ever changing seasons and migration of animals.
Several white settlers attempted to make the 150 Mile House a success in the early 1800's, but it changed hands over and over again as each fell upon hard times. Financial struggle and slow development almost did away with the little settlement. But by 1870, the Cariboo Wagon Road finally saw the traffic its forefathers had envisioned. With the discovery of the interiors gold, the railway constructions into the Province and the coming of new hopeful settlers, ranchers and farmers, 150 Mile House proved to survive the best and worst of times.
