Greenwood

Greenwood holds the distinction of being Canada's smallest city by population, a former copper smelting boomtown in the Boundary Country that has settled into a quiet, history rich small town pace.

A copper smelter briefly made Greenwood one of the busiest towns in the BC Interior around 1900, and the Greenwood Smelter National Historic Site and a collection of well preserved heritage buildings downtown still trace that boom and bust story.

During the Second World War, Greenwood became one of the sites where Japanese Canadians were interned, a difficult chapter in the city's history that is documented locally and remembered as part of the community's identity today.

Nestled among the hills of the Boundary Country near the Phoenix Mountain former mine site, Greenwood offers a genuinely small, close-knit setting along Highway 3, with some of the lowest home prices of any incorporated city in the province.
