Nanaimo

Town and former coal-mining centre of southwest British Columbia, Canada, on the east coast of Vancouver Island; population (2006) 83,800. It was founded as a Hudson's Bay Company trading post and developed after the discovery of coal in 1849; the last big coal mine closed in 1960. Today Nanaimo is the centre of a lumbering region, and has salmon and cod fisheries, and a ferry port. Shipbuilding and tourism are also important to the local economy. A biological research station and the preserved Hudson's Bay Company fort (1853) are in the town.
