Salmo, is a small village nestled in the West Kootenay region of British Columbia. Established in the late 19th century during the era of railway expansion, Salmo served as a vital hub along the historic route of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Named after the Salmo River that flows through the region.

Throughout the early 20th century, Salmo experienced periods of growth and prosperity, fueled in part by the logging and mining industries that thrived in the surrounding mountains. Sawmills and mines dotted the landscape, providing employment opportunities and shaping the town's economic landscape. However, like many communities in the region, Salmo faced challenges with the decline of traditional industries in the latter half of the century. Yet, it persevered, evolving into a vibrant community known for its strong sense of community spirit and resilience.

Today, Salmo retains much of its small-town charm while embracing the opportunities of the modern era. Its historic downtown core boasts a mix of well-preserved heritage buildings and contemporary amenities, including locally-owned shops, cafes, and galleries. Outdoor enthusiasts are drawn to Salmo's proximity to pristine wilderness areas, offering a plethora of recreational activities such as hiking, fishing, and skiing. With its rich history, stunning natural beauty, and tight-knit community, Salmo continues to thrive as a hidden gem in the heart of the Kootenays, welcoming visitors and residents alike to experience its unique blend of past and present.
