Richmond

Richmond has served as an agricultural centre in British Columbia’s Lower Mainland since the late 19th century. Spread across Lulu Island and smaller islands in the Fraser River delta, it lies between the river’s distributaries and the Strait of Georgia. An extensive dyke network defines this low-lying terrain of farms, wetlands and tidal water. In Steveston, Richmond’s historic fishing district, the Gulf of Georgia Cannery National Historic Site recalls the salmon-canning industry that helped shape the community. Asian Canadian food, markets and restaurants are also central to local life, reflecting the city’s diverse population.
