Online Dispensary in Coquitlam, BC

Coquitlam takes its name from the Kwikwetlem word meaning red fish up the river, a reference to the sockeye salmon that once migrated up the Coquitlam River in huge numbers to spawn. The Kwikwetlem people have lived along the Fraser and Coquitlam rivers for at least 9,000 years, and the modern city still describes its early history as a place in between, connected by North Road in the 1860s to link New Westminster with the year-round port at Port Moody. The big economic turning point came in 1889, when Frank Ross and James McLaren opened the Fraser Mills lumber operation on the north bank of the Fraser, one of the largest and most advanced mills of its kind at the time.

Fraser Mills brought waves of workers from Quebec starting around 1909, and the neighbourhood they settled, Maillardville, grew into the largest Francophone community west of Manitoba, a heritage still visible in the area’s street names and annual events. Coquitlam and Fraser Mills formally joined together in 1971, and the Lougheed Highway’s opening in 1953 opened the door to the suburban growth that followed. Today Coquitlam is home to close to 150,000 people, part of Metro Vancouver’s Tri-Cities alongside Port Coquitlam and Port Moody. Weed Market ships to Coquitlam addresses the same way it does across the rest of BC, fast, tracked and completely discreet.
