From the Lumby Museum page " Moses Lumby (1840-1893) came to British Columbia in 1861. He was one of the most ardent campaigners to have the railway extended into the Okanagan valley. Moses became the area’s Government Agent in 1892 following the death of Walter Dewdney. Moses died of typhoid fever in Victoria on October 23, 1893. In 1894, the year following Moses Lumby’s death, Louis Morand and Quinn Faulkner (who laid out the original townsite of Lumby), officially changed the name of the new townsite from White Valley to Lumby."

The road you are referring to @ 1:08 is Trinity Valley Road, nice drive.

Yes, that is a really nice drive. Very muddy if you go this time of year for sure too. Dave do you know if that guy who lives half way along still has his little golf course? It's been a couple of years since I've been down that way.

You drove by the Okanagan's largest pallet company at 4:29 :) Next time stop in for a visit!
