100 Mile House was originally known as Bridge Creek House, named after the creek running through the area. Its origins as a Canadian settlement go back to the time when
Thomas Miller owned a collection of ramshackle buildings serving the traffic of the fur trade. It acquired its current name during the Cariboo Gold Rush where a roadhouse
was constructed in 1862, as a resting point for travellers moving between Kamloops and Fort Alexandria, which was 98 miles north of 100 Mile House.

and portage trails). In 1930, Lord Martin Cecil left England to come to 100 Mile House and manage the estate owned by his father, the Marquess of Exeter. The town, which
at the time consisted of the roadhouse, a general store, a post office, telegraph office and a power plant, had a population of 12. The original road house burned down
in 1937.
At present, 100 Mile House is the primary service centre for the South Cariboo and has a population of approximately 2,000. The service area has a population roughly
ten times the size of the town. It includes the communities of Lac La Hache, Forest Grove, Lone Butte, Bridge Lake, 70 Mile House, and 108 Mile Ranch, the largest
residential centre between Kamloops and Williams Lake. The primary industries of 100 Mile House are forestry and ranching. Log home building and tourism are also an
important part of the community.
100 Mile House is a centre for outdoor activities and is becoming increasingly known for its richness of bird life. The surrounding area features many lakes for boating
and fishing including Lac La Hache, Canim Lake, Horse Lake, Green Lake, and Bridge Lake. The Cariboo ski marathon attracts a large and international field of cross-country
(Nordic) skiers. REMAX MLS real estate homes
