'''Peachland''' is a [[district municipality]] in the [[Okanagan Valley]] on the west side of [[Okanagan Lake]] in [[British Columbia]], Canada.<ref>{{BCGNIS|38679|Peachland}}</ref> It was founded in 1899<ref>[http://www.peachland.ca/about_peachland/history.htm Peachland.ca] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071007221021/http://www.peachland.ca/about_peachland/history.htm |date=2007-10-07 }}</ref> by [[John Moore Robinson]],<ref>[http://www.britishcolumbia.com/regions/towns/?townID=3444 Peachland at BritishColumbia.com]</ref> 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, British Columbia|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 (Okanagan Lake)|Rattlesnake Island]], home of the legendary [[Ogopogo]]. Peachland is approximately 370 km from [[Vancouver]], British Columbia, on the [[British Columbia Coast|British Columbia south coast]].<ref>[http://www.enorthernbc.com/Distance-Chart.asp Distance from Vancouver to Peachland]</ref> |

The climate of Peachland is very similar to that of neighboring Kelowna, but with a greater moderating influence from [[Okanagan Lake]]. This is partly due to its proximity to the water, as well as the greater width of the lake in this area (up to 5 kilometres). As most of the city is built into a mountainside, it is typically shielded from cold northerly winds and also has an overall southern exposure. This helps warm the area slightly during spring, summer, and fall, but particularly in winter. Proximity to the lake results in more moderation relative to Okanagan cities that are farther away from it. Average January high temperatures in Peachland are nearly 1.5 degrees warmer than in Kelowna, while the reverse is true in July.<ref>http://www.peachland.ca/about-peachland |

The city's southern orientation provides protection from winds from the north while also encouraging those from the south, which blow across the lake directly toward the city and can cause mild [[lake-effect snow]]. The steep mountainside on which Peachland is built can enhance this effect somewhat via the action of [[orographic lift]].<ref>http://www.peachland.ca/about-peachland |

Peachland is a district municipality in the Okanagan Valley on the west side of Okanagan Lake in British Columbia, Canada.[3] It was founded in 1899[4] by John Moore Robinson,[5] 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.[6]
History
[edit].jpg)
Peachland was founded on the site of a tiny community called Camp Hewett.[7]
Demographics
[edit]In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Peachland had a population of 5,789 living in 2,689 of its 2,936 total private dwellings, a change of 6.7% from its 2016 population of 5,428. With a land area of 16.1 km2 (6.2 sq mi), it had a population density of 359.6/km2 (931.3/sq mi) in 2021.[8]

The current mayor is Patrick Van Minsel who defeated Cindy Fortin by a landslide vote in the 2022 municipal election.[15]
