Founded in 1867, OKeefe Ranch was once one of the largest cattle ranches in British Columbia, spanning over 20,000 acres of prime Okanagan land. From their humble beginnings, the OKeefe family built up a small settlement consisting of a general store with the first post office in the Okanagan Valley, a blacksmith shop, St. Annes Church built in 1889 plus many other necessary ranch buildings.
