Origin Notes and History:
|
"Lebanon Creek, not Cedar Creek" adopted in the 1930 BC Gazetteer, as labelled on BC map 4N, 1930. Lebanon Creek re-approved 6 December 1955 on 82E. Origin/significance not recorded. Source: BC place name cards, or correspondence to/from BC's Chief Geographer or BC Geographical Names Office |
|
"Lebanon" suggested by Water Rights Branch, in association with Lebanon Lake at its' head - presumably to avoid duplication; both features had previously been known as Cedar Lake and Cedar Creek (so-labelled on Water Rights Branch plan showing Irrigation Systems, Kelowna, 1912, and map of the Yale District, 61B1, 1906).
