Coalmont, British Columbia
- Coalmont, British Columbia
-
Coalmont is a tiny mining town, 12 miles (19 km) northwest of Princeton, British Columbia, Canada, on the north bank of the Tulameen River.[1] It is near the community of Tulameen and Otter Lake and the Coldwater Junction of the Coquihalla Highway. The town was established in 1912 to serve as a supply point to the neighbouring coal mine at Blakeburn. Coalmont had its ups and downs over the years, largely due to the mining operation which shut in 1940. Coalmont was also a junction on the Kettle Valley Railway, whose roadbed is now the Trans-Canada Trail.
Recently, coal mining started up again, after years of Coalmont being a lumbering and summer cabin area.
