Living on the Right Side of the Tracks! Traditional Cache

Welcome to Armstrong!

The City of Armstrong is located on Highway 97A in the beautiful Spallumcheen Valley, between the sunny, rolling Okanagan Valley and the cooler, forested Shuswap Valley, and is 19 miles north of Vernon and 26 miles (42 km) southeast of Salmon Arm.

Armstrong is named after E.C. Heaton Armstrong, a London banker who helped finance the Shuswap and Okanagan Railway in 1892, and local development at the turn of the century. Heritage buildings lining the streets lend an authentic ‘old west’ feel and the influence of Dutch immigrants settling in the valley after the Second World War is still well-represented in Armstrong’s reputation as a hub of cheese production.
