Westwold

Westwold is an unincorporated settlement, in the Interior of British Columbia. A small farming and logging community, it is located between Kamloops and Vernon, [British Columbia|Vernon] on British [Columbia Highway 97|Highway 97]. The original name for the settlement was "Grand Prairie", but this was changed in 1925 with the construction of a CNR spur line to Kelowna, to avoid a station name conflict. Glacial tills near the townsite of Westwold have provided fossils from the Sangamonian Stage 130,000 years ago.
