Port Moody

Deepwater port in Greater Vancouver Regional District, southwestern British Columbia, Canada, at the head of Burrard Inlet, 20 km/12 mi east of downtown Vancouver; population (1991) 17,700. A long-established sawmilling centre, it also has oil refineries and diverse manufactures. Chosen in 1879 as the western terminus of the Canadian Pacific railway, it was soon supplanted by Vancouver, but hosted the arrival of the first transcontinental passenger train in 1886.
