22. Penticton - To the nomadic Salish Natives “Pen-Tak-Tin” meant, roughly, that “this was a place to stay forever.” While gazing upon the area, in 1866, Tom Ellis agreed - he built a great cattle ranch and planted a few fruit trees. Fifty years later the orchards had spread across the ranch lands and today, the beautiful ranches and the multitude of fruit trees make Penticton a great place to visit and live as thousands of residents will attest.
