Boundary of the municipality
On one side of Elephant Hill Provincial Park, you’ll find Ashcroft. On the other, you’ll find Cache Creek just north of Boston Bar. It’s located in the Thompson-Nicola Region.
The origin of Cache Creek’s name is something of a mystery. Some have said it came from a stagecoach robbery that happened during the Gold Rush, in which one of the robbers buried what they stole in a creek bed.
Another account has it that fur traders “cached” supplies in the valley junction.
