Salmo may be a village within the West Kootenay region of southeastern Canadian province, Canada. It’s placed within the Salmo stream natural depression, encircled by the Alexander Selcraig range of mountains.
Situated at the junction of the Crowsnest road and road half dozen, Salmo is a couple of thirty minute drive from the communities of Castlegar, Nelson, and Trail. Salmo is that the western terminus of the Salmo-Creston road made within the late Nineteen Fifties (now road 3) as a road to avoid the long route north to Horatio Nelson and crossing Kootenay Lake by ferry between solon and Kootenay Bay.
Originally called Salmon Siding (named for the initial name of the Salmo stream, i.e. The Salmon River), the village was supported as atiny low mining city close to the Horatio Nelson and Fort Sheppard Railway throughout a gold rush in 1896. The name of the city was modified to Salmo to avoid confusion with alternative places with similar names. Once dams were created on the Columbia within the Sixties and Seventies, Salmo’s fish stocks were depleted.
