Established during the 1885 gold rush, Granite Creek townsite is now a ghost town in the Similkameen region of British Columbia, Canada.
The discovery of gold led to the creation of a mining settlement, sometimes informally called "Granite City", in 1885.
[1] Granite Creek lay deep in the remote Tulameen country of southern British Columbia.
In 1910 Columbia Coal and Coke Company opened their offices there, but with the building of Coalmont in 1912 there was less reason for the town to exist.
By the time the depression came to an end only a handful of miners lived at what was the former gold rush boom town called Granite Creek.
Granite Creek was featured on Season 1, Episode 11 of the historical television series Gold Trails and Ghost Towns.
