Slocan, British Columbia
The Village of Slocan ( ), historically also known as Slocan City ( ), from Ktunaxa: ''sⱡuqan'', ). is a village in the Slocan Valley of the West Kootenay region of the southeastern Interior of British Columbia, Canada. It is located at the southern end of Slocan Lake, to the south of New Denver, which sits mid-way up the lake's eastern shore.
==Name==
The name Slocan is derived from the Sinixt word meaning "to strike or pierce on head" and was derived from their practice of harpooning salmon. At one time, this area had an abundance of salmon. The term Slocan is also in the Ktunaxa language.
Slocan should not be confused with Slocan Park, which is farther south along the Slocan River, or South Slocan, which, in turn, should not be confused with Shoreacres (Prekrasnoye), at the Slocan River's confluence with the Kootenay River. The term "the Slocan" refers to the Slocan Valley in general.
