Kettle Valley is on the south side of the Kettle River in the Boundary region of south central British Columbia.[1] The unincorporated settlement, on Kettle Valley Rd S. (off BC Highway 3), is by road about 29 kilometres (18 mi) west of Greenwood and 56 kilometres (35 mi) east of Osoyoos.
Name origin
[edit | edit source]The name came from the Kettle Valley Railway presence.

Community
[edit | edit source]The post office operated 1913–1975.[14] By 1918, the rural hamlet also had an Anglican church and population of 60.[4] Nowadays, most residences lie south of the river, across the concrete-decked bridge which replaced the war-surplus Bailey bridge in 2001.[15]
