A simple ‘rendezvous’ point that grew to one of America’s #1 mountain destinations.
After a successful career as sheriff, William ’Billy’ Cozens moved with his wife Mary and family to the Fraser Valley in 1874 and took up a position as Postmaster. Subsequently, a small hotel, stage stop, and other buildings were raised shortly thereafter. The stagecoach stop and comforting amenities, plus the strategic location along the west slope of the great continental divide, made the area a major crossroads, or ‘rendezvous’ point, for travelers exploring the west.
Koelbel’s family history in the Fraser Valley dates back to 1915 when Buz Koelbel’s grandfather, Carl Norgren, came to the area. In the 1930’s Carl purchased a beloved camp frequented by his daughter after it fell on hard times, naming it Byers Peak Ranch. Milestones at the ranch include visits from President Eisenhower, President Hoover, and other dignitaries, earning the ranch its nickname, the ‘Western White House’.
