Nanaimo is a coastal city located on the east coast of Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. Known historically as the "Harbour City," it developed from a trading post in the early 1800s into an important coal mining center. The city's name comes from the Indigenous Snuneymuxw First Nation, who have inhabited the area for thousands of years. Today, Nanaimo is the second-largest city on Vancouver Island after Victoria, combining its industrial heritage with a vibrant cultural scene.
The city features a mix of historical sites, including the iconic Bastion (built in 1853), and contemporary cultural venues. Nanaimo's artistic community is active in various disciplines, from visual arts to performing arts, and the city regularly hosts cultural events and festivals.
The city is also famous for creating the Nanaimo bar, a popular Canadian dessert that has become a symbol of local culinary heritage.
