The townsite of Slocan City was staked at the lower end of
Slocan Lake in 1892 following massive silver strikes nearby. The
site was conveniently close to three principal ore producing
areas. By 1900, there were 12 hotels in Slocan; by 1920 there
were only three. Slocan became a city in June 1901 and reverted
to village status in June 1958. During the 1890s, Slocan City
was a bustling, boisterous, boomtown filled with hotels,
saloons, pack teams, rail cars filled with ore, and miners in
pursuit of the ever elusive "mother-lode".
