Creston’s Rise as a Fruit and Rail Hub Under Mallandaine
The Creston district unfolds its fertile promise from Kootenay River to Goat River with fruit orchards and dairy plans expanding under Elward Mallandaine and partners. Growth includes sawmills, mines, and a growing population, with land prices around 100 to 700 per acre and a planned cable ferry boosting access to vast fruit lands.
