Esquimalt

Town in Capital Regional District, southwest British Columbia; population (1991) 16,200. It is a seaport on the Juan de Fuca Strait, at the southeast end of Vancouver Island, to the west of Victoria, of which it is a residential suburb. It was settled in the 1840s, and grew during the 1850s gold rush and after the building of naval drydocks in the 1880s. Its Canadian Forces naval base remains important to the local economy, as is tourism.
