Throughout this gold fever certain roadhouses because of their favourable locations along the Cariboo Wagon Road from Lillooet to Soda Creek grew to be supply points for the gold seekers and the surrounding district 100 Mile House South Cariboos dominant community was originally one of these stopping points along the gold rush trail 100 Mile House was so named because it was located 100 Miles from Lillooet Mile 0 of the Cariboo Wagon Road As the gold rush subsided ranchers began to settle the surrounding area
