Creston is a town in the Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia. A harmonious cluster of small communities each with their own distinct character, it is a perfect location for lifestyle-oriented entrepreneurs. The wide-open valley, fabulous climate, mountains, rivers, lakes, friendly and down-to-earth people, and relaxed pace contribute to our unparalleled quality of life.

The Creston Valley begins at the US border (Rykerts, BC), 11 km south of the town of Creston and parallels the East Shore of Kootenay Lake to Riondel. The area encompasses the Lake communities of Sirdar, Kuskonook, Sanca, Boswell, Gray Creek, Crawford Bay, Kootenay Bay and Riondel. The Valley stretches to include the Town of Creston and all of its neighboring communities—Erickson, Canyon, Lister, West Creston, Arrow Creek, Kitchener, Wynndel and Yahk.

The Creston Valley has a temperate climate which plays a vital role in its economic well-being. The agriculture industry is a major player, with more than 20,000 acres of reclaimed land—some of the most fertile land in British Columbia. Other major industries include: forestry, manufacturing, mining and tourism. The Creston Area makes up the southern third of the Kootenay Lake Timber Supply Area, as well as a great deal of private forest land.

Creston offers a quiet, rural setting within reasonable distance of larger, urban centres in British Columbia, Alberta and the US. Nestled between the Purcell and Selkirk Mountains, the Town of Creston comprises 911 hectares and includes about 6,002 residents.

Creston routinely experiences ideal weather and is usually spared the sudden high and low extremes of many other regions. With such ideal weather and increasing economic development, Creston has long been favoured by retiree's as "A Great Place to Retire". Whether visiting or seeking to relocate, Creston has a complete range of services and facilities which provide for a comfortable and satisfying lifestyle.

Kitchener features a diverse range of vegetation shaped by its location in the Kootenay region, which combines both forested and agricultural landscapes.

The complex is situated on 17 acres in the heart of Creston and offers many active-living programs as well as a Spring Trade Show and Fall Fair.

Creston's history began with the Ktunaxa Kinbasket Nation, who relied on the local marshes for fishing and hunting. The area gained attention in 1808 when explorer David Thompson became the first non-Indigenous person to view Kootenay Lake. The construction of the Dewdney Trail in the 1860s opened the region to miners and prospectors, while the arrival of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1898 brought farmers and businesspeople to the area. Early industries included logging and lumbering, which continue to be significant today, alongside fruit farming initiated in 1893 by Ella Rykert, who planted the valley's first apple trees.

In the 1880s, William Adolf Baillie-Grohman proposed an ambitious land reclamation project to drain the Creston Flats for agriculture. His plan included lowering Kootenay Lake and constructing dykes, but the initial efforts were unsuccessful. Despite this, the creation of dykes ultimately led to the protection and reclamation of over 10,000 hectares of farmland. Baillie-Grohman's vision, though flawed, laid the groundwork for the fertile agricultural landscape that Creston enjoys today.
