The Nanaimo Public Cemetery was established in
1877. The modest early grave markers reflect
Nanaimo’s predominantly working-class population
while more elaborate monuments provide the
names of the city’s wealthier citizens. The many
inscriptions about mine accidents, testimony to the
over 600 mine-related deaths that occurred from the
1860’s to the 1950’s, are representative of Nanaimo’s
history.
