History
First Nations inhabited the Pemberton Valley long before it was called as such.
Europeans began to settle on farmland in the early 1880s, having found it on their way to the Gold Rush.
Pemberton would be named for Joseph Despard Pemberton, a surveyor with the Hudson’s Bay Company.
The first passenger train arrived in Pemberton in 1914, and families began to settle there.
When the Gold Rush declined, prospectors stayed in Pemberton so they could take advantage of lush agricultural land and grow seed potatoes.
Today, farmers there grow crops such as berries and vegetables.
