Old Town is a ghost town of British Columbia. Old Town is located in a region of British Columbia called the East Kootenay. The Town contained dance halls, several saloons, hotels, three stores and a jail. The town was created around 1867 and lasted about ten years. Old Town supported the miners who worked placer claims on Perry Creek. When the gold on Perry Creek dwindled, Old Town disappeared. In 1973 only one building remained on the Old Town site.[1]
