Description From Owner:
- Exeter - This BCR station is named after the Marquess of Exeter, who bought a large tract of land before World War I around the 100 Mile House and established the Bridge Creek Cattle Ranch.
- 100 Mile House - Gets its name from the fact that the mile-house built here when the Cariboo Wagon Road was pushed through in the early 1860s was just 100 miles from Lillooet.
- In 1912 the Marquess of Exeter purchased an extensive ranch here. It was later managed by his son, Lord Martin Cecil, who died in 1988, aged seventy-eight.
