Hiking

The mouth of the Illecillewaet River into the Columbia River was a storage place for fur traders in the 19th century. Later it became a supply point for miners in the area. The place continued to grow in the 1880s, when the Canadian Pacific Railway was built, and was called Farwell. After completion of the railway in 1885, the settlement was a base of the railway line and after Lord Revelstoke (a noble title of the banking family Baring, London), an investor in the railway line, renamed Revelstoke.

It was founded in the 1880s during the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR).
It was originally named "Farwell" after a local landowner, but was renamed Revelstoke after Lord Revelstoke, a British banker who helped finance the railway.
