The North Shuswap initially was residence to First Nations people long before the area was developed by pioneers in 1895. The first settlers earned their living by logging, fruit cultivation, and trapping. Water offered transportation, with a ferry plying the waters between Sorrento and Scotch Creek from 1914 - 1956, until a bridge was built at Squilax in 1930. Small trails served as tracks between homesteads and the lake. Eventually, these trails were broadened, and a gravel road was built linking Anglemont and Scotch Creek. The road was paved in the 1960s.
Tourism is an economic mainstay of the North Shuswap, plus wood products, agriculture, forestry and service factories.
