Robson, British Columbia

Robson, British Columbia

Robson is an unincorporated settlement in the West Kootenay region of British Columbia, Canada. It is immediately north across the Columbia River from the city of Castlegar, on the west bank of the mouth of Pass Creek. Across Pass Creek on the same side of the Columbia is Raspberry, which was founded as a Doukhobor colony. Robson dates from the time of the Big Bend Gold Rush and was one of the ports of call on the Columbia River-Arrow Lakes steamboat route.
