CGNDB data entry: "Tulameen....originally called Otter Flat, according to G.M. Dawson in 1877." [citation not located in Dawson's 1877 report to Geological Survey of Canada. Note that Tulameen (settlement) was established on Otter Flat, but there is no evidence in BC files that the settlement itself was ever called Otter Flat.] Source: BC place name cards, or correspondence to/from BC's Chief Geographer or BC Geographical Names Office |
