The location has been inhabited by the Nlaka'pamux people for over 10,000 years.{{Citation needed|date=April 2010}} It is one of the earliest locations settled by non-natives in the Southern Interior of British Columbia. It was founded during the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush of 1858–59, when it was known as "The Forks". The community includes the Village of Lytton and the surrounding community of the Lytton First Nation, whose name for the place is Camchin, also spelled Kumsheen ("river meeting"). HistoryLytton was on the route of the Gold Rush in 1858. The same year, Lytton was named for Edward Bulwer-Lytton, the British Colonial Secretary and a novelist.[3] For many years Lytton was a stop on major transportation routes, namely, the River Trail from 1858, Cariboo Wagon Road in 1862, the Canadian Pacific Railway in the 1880s, the Cariboo Highway in the 1920s, and the Trans Canada Highway in the 1950s. However, it has become much less important since the construction of the Coquihalla Highway in 1987 which uses a more direct route to the BC Interior. Name originNovelist Bulwer-Lytton was a friend and contemporary of Charles Dickens and was one of the pioneers of the historical novel, exemplified by his most popular work, The Last Days of Pompeii. He is best remembered today for the opening line to the novel Paul Clifford, which begins "It was a dark and stormy night..." and is considered by some to be the worst opening sentence in the English language.[4] However, Bulwer-Lytton is also responsible for well-known sayings such as "The pen is mightier than the sword" from his play Richelieu. Despite being a very popular author for 19th-century readers, few people today are even aware of his prodigious body of literature spanning many genres. In the 21st century he is known best as the namesake for the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest (BLFC), sponsored annually by the English Department at San Jose State University, which challenges entrants "to compose the opening sentence to the worst of all possible novels". Lord Lytton literary debateOn August 30, 2008, the Village of Lytton invited Henry Lytton-Cobbold, the great-great-great grandson of Edward Bulwer-Lytton, to defend the great man's honour by debating Professor Scott Rice, the sponsor of the BLFC, on the literary and political legacies of his great ancestor.[5] The debate received wide media coverage including The Globe and Mail, The New York Times, The Guardian, CBC's As It Happens and many local and regional newspapers and radio and TV stations. The debate was moderated by Mike McArdell of Global TV. Lytton-Cobbold provided a spirited and crowd-inspiring defense of his ancestor, and despite a factual and well-researched presentation by Rice, Lytton-Cobbold emerged as the crowd favorite by a wide margin. In the end, Rice begrudgingly admitted to an admiration of Bulwer-Lytton. This event was held as part of the Village of Lytton's 150BC celebrations, as it was the 150th anniversary of the community receiving its name. PopulationThe population of the village municipality as of the 2016 census was 249,[6] with another 1,700 in the immediate area living in rural areas and on reserves of the neighbouring six Nlaka'pamux communities.{{which|date=May 2014}} 802 members out of 1,970 registered members of the Lytton First Nation live on reserves immediately adjacent to the municipality.[7] ClimateLytton experiences a Cold semi-arid climate (Köppen climate classification Bsk). During summer heat waves, Lytton is often the hottest spot in Canada, despite being north of 50° in latitude. Due to the dry summer air and a relatively low elevation of {{Convert|230|m|abbr=on}}, summer afternoon shade temperatures sometimes reach {{convert|35|C}} and up and occasionally top {{Convert|40|C}}. Lytton, along with the nearby community of Lillooet, share the second-highest temperature ever recorded in Canada.[8] On July 16 and 17, 1941, the temperature reached a record {{convert|44.4|C|0}} on both days in both communities.[9] Lytton also holds the record for the hottest temperature ever recorded in the province during August after the temperature reached {{convert|41.8|C}} on August 14, 2004.[10] The coldest temperature ever recorded in Lytton was -31.7 °C (-25 °F) on 18 January 1950.[11] Hot summer temperatures are made more tolerable by low humidity. However, the heat can be intense with usually clear blue skies and blazing sunlight – heat also radiates from the valley's slopes, and forest fires are not uncommon during the summer. Lytton's climate is also characterized by relatively short and mild winters (although December and January average monthly temperatures are just below freezing), with Pacific maritime influence during the winter ensuring thick cloud cover much of the time. Cold snaps originating from arctic outflow occur from time to time, but tend to be short-lived, and mountains to the north block extreme cold from penetrating the Fraser Canyon. Lytton receives {{convert|430.6|mm|abbr=on|2}}[12] of annual precipitation on average, making Lytton much drier than communities to the south, but certainly wetter than some of the driest spots in the BC interior such as Spences Bridge, Kamloops, and Osoyoos. However, Lytton has the driest summers in the interior of British Columbia, and indeed, one of the driest summers of all places in Canada. Maximum precipitation occurs in the cooler months, with the late autumn and early winter constituting the wettest time of the year. {{Weather box|location = Lytton, 1981–2010 normals, extremes 1921–present |metric first = Y |single line = Y |Jan record high C = 16.5 |Feb record high C = 18.3 |Mar record high C = 24.7 |Apr record high C = 33.9 |May record high C = 40.4 |Jun record high C = 41.1 |Jul record high C = 44.4 |Aug record high C = 41.8 |Sep record high C = 38.7 |Oct record high C = 29.9 |Nov record high C = 22.8 |Dec record high C = 17.8 |year record high C = 44.4 |Jan high C = 2.3 |Feb high C = 5.5 |Mar high C = 11.5 |Apr high C = 16.2 |May high C = 20.3 |Jun high C = 24.3 |Jul high C = 27.8 |Aug high C = 28.4 |Sep high C = 22.6 |Oct high C = 14.6 |Nov high C = 5.8 |Dec high C = 0.3 |year high C = 15.0 |Jan mean C = -0.7 |Feb mean C = 1.7 |Mar mean C = 6.3 |Apr mean C = 10.3 |May mean C = 14.4 |Jun mean C = 18.4 |Jul mean C = 21.2 |Aug mean C = 21.6 |Sep mean C = 16.2 |Oct mean C = 9.8 |Nov mean C = 2.9 |Dec mean C = -2.5 |year mean C = 10.0 |Jan low C = -3.7 |Feb low C = -2.1 |Mar low C = 1.0 |Apr low C = 4.3 |May low C = 8.5 |Jun low C = 12.4 |Jul low C = 14.5 |Aug low C = 14.7 |Sep low C = 9.7 |Oct low C = 5.1 |Nov low C = -0.1 |Dec low C = -5.4 |year low C = 4.9 |Jan record low C = -31.7 |Feb record low C = -25.0 |Mar record low C = -21.1 |Apr record low C = -7.8 |May record low C = -3.9 |Jun record low C = 4.4 |Jul record low C = 6.1 |Aug record low C = 6.7 |Sep record low C = -2.2 |Oct record low C = -18.1 |Nov record low C = -27.7 |Dec record low C = -30.6 |year record low C = -31.7 |precipitation colour = green |Jan precipitation mm = 58.7 |Feb precipitation mm = 43.2 |Mar precipitation mm = 31.2 |Apr precipitation mm = 20.8 |May precipitation mm = 20.6 |Jun precipitation mm = 17.8 |Jul precipitation mm = 18.7 |Aug precipitation mm = 25.4 |Sep precipitation mm = 29.0 |Oct precipitation mm = 41.2 |Nov precipitation mm = 60.3 |Dec precipitation mm = 63.9 |year precipitation mm = 430.6 |rain colour = green |Jan rain mm = 42.2 |Feb rain mm = 34.7 |Mar rain mm = 24.6 |Apr rain mm = 20.8 |May rain mm = 20.6 |Jun rain mm = 17.8 |Jul rain mm = 18.7 |Aug rain mm = 25.4 |Sep rain mm = 29.0 |Oct rain mm = 40.0 |Nov rain mm = 48.0 |Dec rain mm = 41.6 |year rain mm = 363.3 |snow colour = green |Jan snow cm = 19.4 |Feb snow cm = 11.0 |Mar snow cm = 6.2 |Apr snow cm = 0.0 |May snow cm = 0.0 |Jun snow cm = 0.0 |Jul snow cm = 0.0 |Aug snow cm = 0.0 |Sep snow cm = 0.0 |Oct snow cm = 1.4 |Nov snow cm = 12.8 |Dec snow cm = 25.9 |year snow cm = 76.6 |Jan humidity = 72.4 |Feb humidity = 62.0 |Mar humidity = 47.7 |Apr humidity = 38.3 |May humidity = 37.0 |Jun humidity = 34.5 |Jul humidity = 33.7 |Aug humidity = 31.9 |Sep humidity = 40.2 |Oct humidity = 55.7 |Nov humidity = 71.5 |Dec humidity = 76.3 |year humidity = 50.1 |unit precipitation days = 0.2 mm |Jan precipitation days = 11.5 |Feb precipitation days = 10.5 |Mar precipitation days = 8.8 |Apr precipitation days = 7.2 |May precipitation days = 8.6 |Jun precipitation days = 7.2 |Jul precipitation days = 6.4 |Aug precipitation days = 6.4 |Sep precipitation days = 7.6 |Oct precipitation days = 10.5 |Nov precipitation days = 13.0 |Dec precipitation days = 12.1 |year precipitation days = 109.6 |unit rain days = 0.2 mm |Jan rain days = 7.8 |Feb rain days = 7.9 |Mar rain days = 8.2 |Apr rain days = 7.2 |May rain days = 8.6 |Jun rain days = 7.2 |Jul rain days = 6.4 |Aug rain days = 6.4 |Sep rain days = 7.6 |Oct rain days = 10.3 |Nov rain days = 11.0 |Dec rain days = 5.8 |year rain days= 94.2 |unit snow days = 0.2 cm |Jan snow days = 5.5 |Feb snow days = 3.6 |Mar snow days = 1.6 |Apr snow days = 0.0 |May snow days = 0.0 |Jun snow days = 0.0 |Jul snow days = 0.0 |Aug snow days = 0.0 |Sep snow days = 0.0 |Oct snow days = 0.4 |Nov snow days = 3.5 |Dec snow days = 8.1 |year snow days = 22.7 |Jan sun = 56.0 |Feb sun = 81.6 |Mar sun = 143.0 |Apr sun = 186.7 |May sun = 224.2 |Jun sun = 243.8 |Jul sun = 265.2 |Aug sun = 244.2 |Sep sun = 182.0 |Oct sun = 121.8 |Nov sun = 55.7 |Dec sun = 48.1 |year sun = 1852.2 |Jan percentsun = 21.1 |Feb percentsun = 28.8 |Mar percentsun = 38.9 |Apr percentsun = 45.2 |May percentsun = 46.9 |Jun percentsun = 49.8 |Jul percentsun = 53.7 |Aug percentsun = 54.4 |Sep percentsun = 47.9 |Oct percentsun = 36.4 |Nov percentsun = 20.5 |Dec percentsun = 19.1 |year percentsun = 38.6 |source 1 = Environment Canada[12][13][14][15][16][17] |date=22 September 2015 }} VegetationOpen coniferous forests of Douglas fir and ponderosa pine dominate the slopes around Lytton. Some black cottonwood is scattered among the conifers. Bunchgrass dominates the forest floor. Non-native trees cultivated in Lytton include black locust and Manitoba Maple. TransportationLytton lies on the Trans Canada Highway as well as both the Canadian Pacific and Canadian National Railways. The Canadian National Railway Crosses both the Fraser and Thompson Rivers on two large steel bridges at Lytton. Via the Trans-Canada, Lytton is approximately 265 km from the city of Vancouver, 111 km north of Hope, and 84 km south of Cache Creek and Ashcroft. Highway 12 runs north from Lytton 62 km to Lillooet, connecting there to Highway 99, which leads southwest to Pemberton and Whistler and beyond to Vancouver, and northeast to its terminus at Lower Hat Creek (Carquile) at a junction with Highway 97 just north of Cache Creek. The Lytton Ferry, a free reaction ferry, crosses the Fraser River at Lytton. On the river's west side are Indian reserve communities of the Lytton First Nation and the Stein Valley Nlaka'pamux Heritage Park via trails from the confluence of the Stein River with the Fraser. From the ferry, a route known as the West Side Road leads through the Nesikep and Texas Creek areas to Lillooet and BC Highway 99; the route south from the ferry is much more difficult but leads to North Bend-Boston Bar. When the ferry is out of service due to ice or low water levels on the Fraser River, pedestrian access is available via a walkway on the Canadian National Railway bridge crossing the river. Via Rail's Canadian and the Rocky Mountaineer pass through Lytton, but do not make any stops. Via Rail's closest stops are Ashcroft, 80 km to the north, and North Bend/Boston Bar, 44 km to the south. PoliticsMunicipalThe mayor of Lytton is Jessoa Lightfoot, who was elected for the first time during the 2008 Municipal Election. Lytton is a corporate entity created under the Community Charter Act. The elections for the Village Council are held every three years with the next election due in November 2018. The current Council includes:
ProvincialOriginally part of the Lillooet provincial riding, then part of Yale-Lillooet Lytton is now in the provincial riding of Fraser-Nicola, represented by Jackie Tegart of the BC Liberals, who first won in the 2013 election. FederalFederally, the town is in the riding of Mission—Matsqui—Fraser Canyon and is currently represented by Jati Sidhu of the Liberals. EconomyThe single main employer in the Village was part of the forestry industry and was forced to close following the market uncertainties of 2007. Tourism is of ever increasing importance as Lytton is the self-proclaimed "River Rafting Capital of Canada". Biggest of the companies operating from Lytton is Kumsheen Rafting Resort. Hyak is very close behind and Fraser River and Reo Rafting are the smaller rafting companies. A provincial campsite, Skihist Provincial Park, is adjacent to the Trans-Canada Highway six kilometres north of the Village, with space for tenting as well as RVs and enjoys one of the few views available of Skihist Mountain, the highest summit of the Lillooet Ranges, across the Fraser to the west of Lytton. The privately run Jade Springs Restaurant, also east of the Village on the Trans-Canada, offers a full service campground.
