Naramata, Heritage site in Penticton, Canada

Situated on the eastern shore of Okanagan Lake, Naramata spans across fertile land with numerous vineyards and fruit orchards at its doorstep.

The community, established in 1906 by John Moore Robinson, underwent several name changes from Nine Mile Point to East Summerland before settling on Naramata.

The Syilx people named this area Citxws Peqlqin, meaning Eagle's House, and used the Naramata bench as a seasonal camp for hunting and gathering.

Visitors can explore the former Kettle Valley Railway line, which includes numerous preserved tunnels and rock ovens from its operational period until 1974.

The community maintains designation records showing average temperatures reaching 38.5°C in summer and -21.0°C in winter, with annual precipitation of 330 millimeters.
