Cache Creek, BC, Historical Facts

Cache Creek was incorporated in 1967 with a population of 1,040. The name came from the fur trade era in the early 1800s. Supplies were ‘cached’ in nearby places by fur traders. Located just north of Cache Creek was the Bonaparte Indian Reserve, which was named after the French emperor. The Hudson’s Bay Company took control of the fur trade in the area the same year Bonaparte died. Cache Creek was originally a stopping house during the Cariboo Gold Rush in the 1860s. This began the era of cattle ranching, which is still an integral industry in the area. Once Highway 97 was upgraded in the 50s, and the Trans-Canada Highway was upgraded in the 60s, the village saw a significant increase in traffic. Once the Coquihalla Highway opened in 1986, the traffic slowed, but the town still sees plenty of through traffic. From 1989 to 2008, the village became a significant landfill site for waste delivered from the lower mainland, but the site is now near Ashcroft.
