Peachland is a district municipality in the Okanagan Valley on the west side of Okanagan Lake in British Columbia,Canada. It was founded in 1899 by John Moore Robinson,although the region had long been home to the Okanagan people. Peachland is approximately half-an-hour's drive south of the city of Kelowna and about a 20-minute drive north of Summerland. The Okanagan Valley is very narrow in the area and there are few terraces that mark former lake levels and the former lake bottom. As a result,the city is largely located on a steep sidehill. Like many other areas in the Okanagan,Peachland is rapidly growing,with new residents coming from all across Canada. Across the lake from Peachland is Rattlesnake Island,home of the legendary Ogopogo. Peachland is approximately 370 km from Vancouver,British Columbia,on the British Columbia south coast.
