[3] The neighbourhood is mostly residential, but also has a thriving business community and Kelowna City council is working with community groups to make plans for revitalisation of Rutland Town Centre.

History

Rutland was an unincorporated town until it was forced to merge with the nearby city of Kelowna in 1973 [4] by an act of the provincial legislature.

Rutland is named for an early settler, John "Hope" Matthew Rutland. Rutland, who had previously lived at Australian, near Quesnel, farmed wheat, planted the first commercial orchards, and installed the first large irrigation system in the area. In the 1900s he sold his land to a syndicate which subdivided the land and adjacent land and named the district after him. [1] The post office was opened on October 1, 1908. [5]
