The Hudsons Bay Company established a fort here in 1849 after coal was found in the area. The famous Bastion dates from 1853 and is the oldest Hudsons Bay Company fort preserved in Canada. The name 'Nanaimo' comes from the word "Snuneymuxw", the name of the Halkomelem First Nations people who reside in the area. While the coal industry has died out in the area, the forest industry and good port facilities have assisted Nanaimo to continue its economic growth as a diversified manufacturing and business centre.
