Robert and Henry Pratt

Robert and Henry Pratt

Robert and Henry Pratt (who were brothers) were the first settlers in central Barnhartvale, British Columbia, Canada. Pratt Road, a main residential access, is named after them.

Robert Pratt (1870-1935) settled in Barnhartvale in 1890. In 1894 Harry Pratt (1863-1943) acquired adjoining crown land south of Robert.

Robert Pratt married Helena Todd, daughter of James Todd.

By the early 1900’s Robert Pratt had a highly successful farm with a large apple orchard. Pratt was among the first in the Interior of British Columbia to sell apples commercially, winning a gold medal in 1911 at the International Agricultural Fair in England.
