Salmo Part of the BC Adventure Network. Over a million web site visitors annually !

The Salmo HotelSalmo started as Salmon Siding, on the Nelson & Fort Sheppard Railway. Salmo is Latin for salmon and the Salmo River was called the "Salmon River" until the 1850's. At one time spawning salmon were plentiful in the river on their way to the Columbia River.

The streets and 1930's architecture of downtown are being revitalized. Particularly of note are murals by students of Salmo's School of Stone Masonry. These murals are made of locally quarried stone and mortared onto the downtown buildings.
