Creston summary
Creston is a town of approximately 5,000 people in the Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, Canada. The town is located just a few kilometers north
of the Porthill, Idaho border crossing into the United States and about a three-hour drive north from Spokane, Washington. It is about a one-hour drive west from
Cranbrook, British Columbia along the Crowsnest Highway. Due to its close proximity to the U.S. border, many businesses in the town accept American currency.

Creston is the eastern terminus of the Salmo-Creston highway constructed in the late 1950s (now Highway 3) as a shortcut to avoid the long route north to Nelson and
crossing Kootenay Lake by ferry between Balfour and Kootenay Bay.
Creston's economy is largely resource-based with agriculture and forestry most important. Many are employed in the service sector, and tourism is increasingly
prominent. Since 1959, Kokanee beer has been brewed in Creston at the Columbia Brewery. The town is also home to two grain elevators. Many apple, cherry, pear, and
plum orchards grow around the town, which is also an important dairy centre.
