5 SECTION 3 INTRODUCTION TO COQUITLAM The name Coquitlam comes from the Coast Salish word "Kwikwetlem", which means "red fish up the river", acknowledging the importance of salmon to their culture. The Coast Salish peoples were the earliest residents of the Coquitlam region prior to European settlement. The Kwikwetlem people have long lived along the Fraser and Coquitlam rivers. The history of the early years is one of settlement and agriculture. Growth was slow and steady and, in 1891, the municipality of the District of Coquitlam was officially incorporated. The young municipality got its first boost in the dying years of the 19th century when Frank Ross and James McLaren opened Fraser Mills, a $350,000, then state-of-the-art lumber mill on the north bank of the Fraser River. By 1908, a mill town of 20 houses, a store, post office, hospital, office block, barber shop and pool hall had grown around the mill. A year later one of the most significant events in Coquitlam's history took place. Mill owners, in search of workers, turned their attention to the experienced logging culture of Quebec and in 1909 a contingent of 110 French Canadians arrived, recruited for work at Fraser Mills. With the arrival of a second contingent in June 1910, Maillardville was born. Maillardville, named for Father Maillard, a young Oblate from France, was more than just a French- Canadian enclave in Western Canada. It was a vibrant community, the largest Francophone centre west of Manitoba, and the seed for the future growth of Coquitlam. Coquitlam has excellent community facilities such as: Parks - Mundy Park and Town Centre Park are two of the largest in the city and include walking trails, scenic lakes, sports fields, playgrounds. Recreation facilities swimming pools and fitness centres at Poirier Sport & Leisure Complex and City Centre Aquatic Complex. Golf two public golf courses open year-round. History - Mackin House Museum - the 1909 home features furnishings, housewares, toys and décor from the early 1900s, along with other historical displays. Arts - Evergreen Cultural Centre is an arts and culture hub in the Town Centre, presenting live performances, exhibits and programming to the public.
