Port Alberni, Port settlement in British Columbia, Canada
Port Alberni sits at the head of Alberni Inlet on Vancouver Island, surrounded by mountains, lakes, and forests reaching heights of 200 feet.
The settlement began development in the 1860s with the Anderson sawmill establishment, marking the start of its industrial growth in British Columbia.
The Tseshaht and Hupacasath First Nations of the Nuu-Chah-Nulth Tribal Council maintain their traditions in the region through art and community practices.
The Harbor Quay functions as the city center, offering waterfront restaurants, shops, and a Saturday farmers market with local produce and crafts.
The Robertson Creek Hatchery, opened in 1960, produces 10 million salmon smolts annually, supporting the city's status as a major fishing destination.
