History

Montrose’s history isn’t traced as far back as many B.C. communities.

The village’s own account harks back to 1942, when a man named Leon Simmons wanted to develop a 220-acre area known as Woods Flats.

It was a site owned by C.M.S. Co., a company that would later become known as Teck Rescources.

The land was divided into lots, and slowly a community grew.

Montrose would be incorporated as a village in 1956.
