Nicola

NICOLA is a historic ranching (see CATTLE INDUSTRY) community founded at the south end of Nicola Lk in 1871. By 1882 it was the government and commercial hub of the Nicola Valley, but by 1907 the centre of activity was shifting to MERRITT. The Nicola Ranch, with headquarters at the townsite, was founded in 1919 by Major Charles S. Goldman, a wealthy South African man. Along with cattle, the ranch has the largest fallow-DEER farm in N America.
