It is {{convert|30|km|mi}} downstream from the west end of Kamloops Lake, at the confluence of the Bonaparte and Thompson Rivers, and is in the Thompson-Nicola Regional District. Ashcroft's downtown is on the east side of the Thompson River, although the municipal boundaries straddle the river, with housing and the town's hospital and recreation complex on the west bank. It is something of a "twin" to nearby Cache Creek, which unlike Ashcroft is on the major highway. HistoryAshcroft was founded in the 1860s, during the Cariboo Gold Rush, by two English brothers named Clement Francis Cornwall and Henry Pennant Cornwall, founders of Ashcroft Ranch, who emigrated to Canada from Ashcroft, at Newington Bagpath in Gloucestershire.[4] The brothers had originally come in search of gold; however, on hearing stories from failed gold searchers they decided to found the town to give future gold searchers a place to saddle their horses. They sold flour to packers and miners, helping to make the community. Ashcroft was a major stop for trains, where mining supplies were dropped off. In 1920, when the Pacific Great Eastern Railway (now BC Rail) was completed, the town lost strategic importance as a supply centre for the north. After this, the townsfolk started to rely on farming to sustain the community. Despite being dry, farming was very successful because of water from the Thompson River and hot sun. During the 1920s the small but successful Chinese community made money by testing the growing of potatoes and tomatoes. A tomato cannery was built in the city, which later closed in 1957.[5] In 2001, Ashcroft expanded its boundaries to include the Ashcroft Ranch, which had been bought in 2000 by the Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD) with the intent of using it as the site of a landfill to succeed the Cache Creek sanitary landfill. In 2011, however, the British Columbia government denied an environmental assessment certificate for the landfill, and Metro Vancouver expressed a desire to divest itself of the property.[6] GeographyThe geography in and around Ashcroft resembles that of desert terrain,[7] which has been marketed as sets for the film industry.[8] Ashcroft is the driest place in Canada south of the high arctic.[9] {{Weather box|location = Ashcroft extremes, 2010-2018 |metric first = yes |single line = yes |Jan record high C = 13.5 |Feb record high C = 16.0 |Mar record high C = 24.5 |Apr record high C = 31.3 |May record high C = 34.6 |Jun record high C = 40.6 |Jul record high C = 41.7 |Aug record high C = 41.0 |Sep record high C = 36.3 |Oct record high C = 26.3 |Nov record high C = 23.7 |Dec record high C = 13.5 |Jan record low C = −24.4 |Feb record low C = -21.7 |Mar record low C = -16.8 |Apr record low C = -3.5 |May record low C = -0.6 |Jun record low C = 4.5 |Jul record low C = 8.5 |Aug record low C = 6.1 |Sep record low C = 1.7 |Oct record low C = -4.1 |Nov record low C = -21.1 |Dec record low C = -21.9 |source 1 = Environment Canada |date=October 2017 }} Transportation and communicationAs a flag stop Via Rail's The Canadian calls at the Ashcroft railway station three times per week in each direction.
