Maillardville is a community on the south slope of the city of Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada.

History

In 1889, Frank Ross and James McLaren opened what would become Maillardville, a $350,000, modern 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, pool hall and a Sikh temple[4] had grown around the mill. A mill manager's residence was built that later became Place des Arts.[5] A second mill manager's residence was built in 1909 and is now known as Mackin House, a historic house museum operated by the Coquitlam Heritage Society.

In 1909, Ross and McLaren, in search of workers for the Canadian Western Lumber Company, recruited a contingent of 110 French Canadian mill workers from Eastern Ontario and Quebec.[6] Approximately 40 French Canadian families settled in present-day Maillardville in 1909, with another contingent arriving in June 1910.[6] Named for Father Edmond Maillard, a young Oblate from France, it became the largest Francophone centre west of Manitoba.[7] Similarly, in the early 1900s, many Punjabis came to work in the mills and settled on the south slope of Coquitlam.[4]

In 1971, the City of Coquitlam and the Village of Fraser Mills were amalgamated, which gave the city a larger tax base. The mill closed in 2001, and is now rezoned into a residential area.[5] Maillardville's past is recognized today in street names, the Francophone education system and French immersion programs, French-language guides and scouts, and celebrations such as Festival du Bois.[8]

Maillardville celebrated its 100th birthday in 2009.[9]

In 2014, the City of Coquitlam updated the Maillardville neighbourhood plan. The city anticipates a population growth of 6,000 over the next two decades.[10]
