How did 100 mile house get its name?

100 Mile House got its name from its location along the Cariboo Wagon Road in British Columbia, Canada, which was 100 miles from the town of Lillooet. Established in the 1860s as a stopover for travelers and traders during the Cariboo Gold Rush, it served as a resting point for those journeying to the goldfields. The name reflects its distance from Lillooet, marking it as a significant waypoint along the route.
