Founded in 1812 as a North West Co. depot, Kamloops later was a Hudson's Bay Co. post. Developed where the north and south branches of the Thompson River converge to form Kamloops Lake, Kamloops was named after a Secwepemc (Shuswap) word, Tk'emlúps, or “the meeting of the waters” or, alternatively, a similar French phrase, camp des loups, or “camp of wolves.” During the gold rush of the 1860s the Overlanders reached the city by rafting down the North Thompson. A bronze statue at city hall commemorates their arrival and their contributions to the city. Learn More...
