Nelson History

In 1867, gold and silver were found in the Nelson area and Nelson grew quickly as a result of the frantic mining activity.  By 1910, Nelson had its own hydro generating station, street cars, sewer system, and police force. Englishmen came to Nelson to plant lakeside orchards, and Russian Doukhobors, tilled the valley bench lands.
