Silverton, British Columbia
Silverton is a village in the Slocan Valley area of the West Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, Canada. It is located on the eastern shore of Slocan Lake south of New Denver. It was once British Columbia's smallest municipality in both population and area.
The village dates from the development of the silver mining in the 1890's, hence the name is probably a locally coined word. May be for Silverton Colorado.
