Kettle Valley is a community in the Boundary Country region of south central British Columbia.[1] The former train station was on the north side of the Kettle River, 14.2 kilometres (8.8 mi) northwest of Midway, and 4.7 kilometres (2.9 mi) east of Rock Creek.[2]
In 1913, the post office opened.[3] By 1918, the rural hamlet also had an Anglican church and population of 60.[4] Nowadays, most residences lie south of the river, across the concrete-decked bridge which replaced the war-surplus Bailey bridge in 2001.[5]
