History

Coldstream’s history can be traced back to 1863, when settler Capt. Charles F. Houghton arrived.

He set up the “Coldstream Ranch,” so named for cold springs that were located there, according to the Canadian Encyclopedia.

The ranch was later sold, and orchards grew up on it — 732 acres of them in total.

The property was subsequently subdivided in an effort to stir more settlement.
