Historically, en route to the great Cariboo Gold Rush, a few of the travellers settled here.
A unique feature of the 108 community is its green belt lands. Comprising more than 1500 acres these community parklands include 108 and Sepa Lakes, Walker Valley and many small patches scattered around the ranch.
108 Mile Ranch is about 12k north of 100 Mile House, just off Highway 97. 108 Airport is the regional facility for the South Cariboo and includes a small plane commercial passenger service.
