Kaleden is a small historic and modern, rural satellite community, located south of Penticton in the Okanagan Valley in the province of British Columbia, Canada. The community of 4.32 kilometres (2.68 mi), with its population of 1,224,^[1] is located about 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) or 5 minutes south of Penticton along Skaha Lake in the South Okanagan and Okanagan-Similkameen. Kaleden was established by James Ritchie in the early 1900s for growing fruit. The famous “Kaleden Cots” got their beginning here. From the community beginnings as a small orcharding community, the town has evolved from fruit to vineyards, and has become a bedroom community of Penticton.
