    History

    Nakusp developed as a transportation and resource community during the late 1800s as settlers moved into the Arrow Lakes region. The area served as an important connection point along the Columbia River system, where sternwheelers transported people, goods and supplies between communities.

    Logging, mining and agriculture played important roles in the early development of the region. Over time, Nakusp evolved into a service and recreation hub for the surrounding rural communities.

    Today, the village maintains a welcoming small-town character while attracting visitors and residents drawn to its scenic setting, access to outdoor recreation and relaxed Kootenay lifestyle.
