 Incorporated in 1874, and located over what was historically, five separate native villages (Nanaimo is derived from the Coast Salish word “Sney-ny-mo” for “meeting place”), Nanaimo is the second largest city on Vancouver Island and the third oldest in British Columbia, located on the east coast of southern Vancouver Island, 70 miles (112 km) north of Victoria. Once a coal mining town, Nanaimo has become something very different with cultural festivals in the summer, a clean, accessible waterfront, a university campus with an amazing view, and all of the amenities available to a large city, while retaining a small town charm.
With more than two dozen parks, central location, access to countless cultural and recreational activities (2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver will be a short ferry ride away), moderate temperatures year round, and a rapidly growing economy, Nanaimo is a perfect place to live and play.
Population: 78,271
