Ashcroft, Municipal village in Thompson Country, British Columbia, Canada.

The village extends along the Thompson River, situated at an elevation of 335 meters within a desert region of British Columbia.

In 1862, brothers Clement and Henry Cornwall established the settlement, opening a roadhouse near the Cariboo Road in 1863.

The village maintains an active community center that organizes various recreational programs, including sports activities, arts workshops, and outdoor gatherings.

Residents access municipal services at 601 Bancroft Street, where the administrative office handles local governance and community matters.

The village gained importance as Mile 0 of the Cariboo Road when BC Express relocated its headquarters to Ashcroft in 1886.
