Steveston, Historic fishing village in Richmond, Canada.
The waterfront community sits at the mouth of the South Arm of the Fraser River, featuring numerous fishing boats, markets, and heritage buildings.
During the 1890s, Steveston developed into a major salmon canning center with multiple processing facilities, leading to its nickname Salmonopolis.
The settlement integrated diverse communities, including First Nations, Japanese, Chinese, and European settlers who shaped the local fishing and canning industries.
The Gulf of Georgia Cannery National Historic Site opens throughout the year, offering guided tours and exhibits about the Pacific fishing industry.
Television productions frequently use Steveston's maritime setting, with the village appearing in shows like Once Upon a Time as the fictional town.
