Kamloops, Administrative center in British Columbia, Canada.
The city extends across valleys at the confluence of North and South Thompson Rivers, surrounded by grasslands and mountain ranges at 345 meters elevation.
European traders established posts in 1811, leading to the city's growth that accelerated with the Canadian Pacific Railway construction in 1886.
Thompson Rivers University educates 25,000 students annually, contributing to the educational and research activities in British Columbia's interior region.
The junction of four major highways and presence of rail connections make Kamloops a transportation center between Vancouver and Calgary.
The name originates from the Secwepemc word Tk'emlúps, reflecting the location where two rivers merge in the Thompson-Nicola valley system.
