펜틱턴(Penticton)은 캐나다 브리티시컬럼비아 주에 위치한 도시이다. 2011년 기준으로 32,877명이 거주중이다.
이 도시는 오카나간 원주민들이 정착함으로써 발전하기 시작하였다. 그 후 1866년 토마스 엘리스 가족이 펜틱턴으로 이동, 도시에 정착한 최초의 백인이 되었다. 그들은 소제국을 건설하고 과일 나무를 심는 등 지역 발전을 도모하였다. [1] The Penticton Hotel was established in 1892 by Ellis, who positioned it around the local government area, and its first road: Front Street.[1] The sidewalks on the street were made from wood, with coal oil lamps being introduced to the sidewalk.[1] Ellis and his relatives retired in 1892, and sold a portion of their land to property dealers.[2] Around this time, a number of European fur traders traveled through Penticton and the surrounding communities.[2][3]
The sternwheeler S.S. Aberdeen, which began service on Okanagan Lake in 1892, meant that more services could be shipped to the area.[1] A group of residents formed their own local public government board for the community, by 1907, in the hopes of promoting the area.[1] It was referred to as the Board of Trade, who attempted to specialize in arts, commerce, education, and recreation.[1] Another sternwheeler was launched that same year, the S.S. Okanagan, for use on Okanagan Lake, while other sternwheelers served Penticton and other communities on Skaha Lake.[1]
Penticton was incorporated as a district municipality on December 31, 1908.[4][5] Shortly after the district was incorporated, the fruit trees planted by Ellis, many of them apple trees, started to grow.[4] Residents of the area packed fruit in boxes, so they could distribute it worldwide.[4] In 1912, the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) developed the Incola Hotel for the city, which operated for approximately 70 years.[4]
During World War I, the S.S. Sicamous came to the community, while the Kettle Valley Railway train service began operating, by moving specific passengers.[4] In 1949, Penticton purchased the ship from the Canadian Pacific Railway.[2] The Penticton Regional Airport was developed during World War II due to wartime military air transportation concerns, which acted as an emergency landing strip until its tarmac was completed.[6][7] Its land was expropriated from the Penticton Indian Band in 1949 under the War Measures Act.[7][8]
In 1948, a provincial highway opened between Hope and Princeton, which allowed access to Penticton, and created competition for the Kettle Valley Railway;[4] headquarters for the railway were chosen to be in Penticton, in 1910, but the location burnt down in 1964. Much of the railroad's original route has been converted to a multi-use recreational trail, known as the Kettle Valley Rail Trail, which carries the Trans-Canada Trail through this part of British Columbia.[3][9] It was incorporated as a city on May 10, 1948, with the governor general of Canada declaring this.[4] Reeve Robert Lyon served Penticton as the first mayor, while Lord Alexander was made a freeman of the city. [4] 지역 언어의 한 단어에서 유래된 이 도시명은 '영원히 머무를 수 있는 장소'라는 뜻으로, 펜틱턴의 표제이기도 하다.
Penticton hosts many events annually, among them the Challenge-Penticton Triathlon, the Valley First Granfondo Axel Merckx Okanagan, the Okanagan Wine Festival, the Okanagan Children's Festival, Fest-of-Ale BC,[10] the Penticton Peach Festival (commonly known as "Peachfest"), the Miss Penticton Pageant, which takes place during the Penticton Peach Festival, the [http://www.pentasticjazz.com/ Pentastic Hot Jazz Festival, the Peach City Beach Cruise, and the "Elvis Festival" which was featured in the Summer 2006 issue of British Columbia Magazine. Penticton was home to the Ironman Canada race from 1983 until 2012.[11]
Penticton is home to recreational opportunities such as skiing at the Apex Mountain Resort ski area, boating and fishing on Skaha Lake and Okanagan Lake. There is golfing on the area's many courses, as well as hiking or biking the Kettle Valley Railway Trail, and rock climbing at Skaha Bluffs. Penticton is home to the BCHL hockey team Penticton Vees who play throughout the winter months, as well as the PCSL soccer team Penticton Pinnacles, who play from May until July.
In September 2006, residents voted 80.3% in favour of the construction of the South Okanagan Events Centre. The $73 million arena, sports complex and convention centre could possibly serve as a summer or early fall training facility for the Vancouver Canucks and is the home of the BCHL's Penticton Vees, so named in honour of the senior hockey team that in 1955 won the Ice Hockey World Championships against Russia. The Centre has boosted the city's convention market and is a popular stop on concert tours and for other special events.
The Penticton Art Gallery (formerly the Art Gallery of the South Okanagan) is a registered not-for-profit, charitable organization. Local and visiting artists show their works at the gallery. The PAG offers workshops and holds seasonal events. The During the winter holidays, there is an art under $300 event for gift giving accessibility.
Penticton is the hub of wine tourism in the Okanagan Valley with access to 88 wineries within an hour's drive. Nearby Naramata has 22 wineries at last count- by the beginning of the 2009 Fall Wine Festival.
The Kettle Valley Rail Trail, with trail heads leading to more than 160 km of flat, railbed trails for hiking and biking outings, can be accessed from Penticton. This trail is part of the Trans Canada Trail. Penticton has finished the building of the Penticton Aquatic Centre
Penticton is located at the geographical coordinates of 북위 49° 29′ 28″ 서경 119° 35′ 19″ and covers an area of 42.10 제곱킬로미터 (16.25 mi2), with a maximum north-south distance of 7 킬로미터 (4.3 mi) wide between the Okanagan Lake to the north and Skaha Lake to the south; these lakes are part of the drainage system of the Okanagan River,[12] a tributary of the Columbia River.[13] Its borders are formed by Skaha Lake Road to the south and west, which changes to Highway 97 after city limits, Naramata Road to the east, and to the west, Highway 97. Penticton has an elevation of 385 미터 (1,263 ft), and is situated five hours from Seattle, Washington, or Vancouver, British Columbia, and eight hours from Calgary, Alberta, by highway.[14]
Topography
Penticton is the largest city by area and population in the Okanagan-Similkameen Regional District,[15] which is part of the Okanagan as a whole, for which the city is the third largest in the region.[12][16] It is the 21st largest settlement in British Columbia itself by population,[17] while its metropolitan area, including the city plus Okanagan-Similkameen Electoral Area D, serves as the 71st largest in Canada;[18] by area, Penticton ranks 20th in its province; statistics are based on the Canada 2011 Census.[17] It lies at the south bottom of Okanagan Lake, and north beginning of Skaha Lake.[12] Between Okanagan Lake and Skaha Lake are a number of residential areas, farms, which grow orchard and wine products.[12]
Pine and fir are commonly found in the mountains and high country around Penticton, which include the Okanagan Highland, and to its east, the Monashee Mountains. Apex Mountain Resort, which sits 33 킬로미터 (21 mi) west of the city on the Thompson Plateau, is home to the tallest mountain peak in the Penticton area; ski services are offered.[12] The Okanagan Highland is an intermediary plateau-like hilly country between the Okanagan Valley and the Monashee Mountains.[19]

Penticton has a semi-arid climate[20] (BSk) with low precipitation, hot summer days with cool nights, and moderately cool, mostly cloudy winters. With 346.0 mm (13.62 in) of annual precipitation,[21] Penticton is the fourth driest city in Canada.[22] It averages 58.7 cm (23.1 in) of snowfall per year.
The high daytime temperatures throughout the summer means that Penticton has on average the second most number of days in a year over 30 °C (86.0 °F) (after Kamloops)[22] and the city has the lowest amount of fog in Canada.[22] Penticton experiences 1,923 sunshine hours annually, lower than one might expect in a dry climate. This is the result of temperature inversions during the winter that leave a layer of cloud cover at the top of the valley where warm moist air collides with the cooler dry air that fills the valley. During December and January, Penticton is one of the cloudiest places in Canada. By contrast, the summer months are some of the most cloud-free in Canada. Overall the sun shines for 39 percent of daylight hours, varying between a low of 13 percent in December and January to 63 percent in August.[22]
Mean relative humidity hovers between 63–77 percent in the morning throughout the year, but afternoon mean relative humidity is more uneven, ranging from 36 percent in July to 69 percent in January and December.[23] The local and upcoming weather of Penticton is observed at the Penticton Regional Airport by Environment Canada.[24] It typically experiences four distinct seasons annually, having hot summers, relatively mild winters, and little snow, according to the British Columbia government based on statistics from Environment Canada.[12] Despite having a mild winter, Penticton often sees moderate stretches of below freezing weather, typically confined to December and January.
