Ioco, an abbreviation of Imperial Oil Corporation,[1] is an area of Port Moody, British Columbia. It is located on the northern shore of the Burrard Inlet. Ioco was originally a townsite for an Imperial Oil refinery. The refinery began operation in January 1915. By 1917, there were 200 people living in a shack town, which had a school and 2 grocery stores. The company wanted to buy land from the Federal government to build a townsite, but due to the land being a military reserve they refused. Instead they bought land from a private seller. The land was cleared and construction on houses began in 1920. In all there were 83 houses built. The townsite also had a grocery store, community hall, a tennis court and lawn bowling green, and 2 churches.[2] By 2015, the Ioco site has been sold to a Vancouver developer.[3][4] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Industry Profiles - Imperial Oil|url=http://www.portmoody.ca/index.aspx?page=842 City of Port Moody Website|accessdate=2 January 2014}} {{coord|49.3036|N|122.8751|W|display=title}}{{gvrd-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|title=The Ioco Townsite Story|url=http://www.portmoody.ca/index.aspx?page=109 City of Port Moody Website|accessdate=2 January 2014}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Ioco Townsite sold to novice developer|url=http://www.thenownews.com/news/ioco-townsite-sold-to-novice-developer-1.1733021|accessdate=15 January 2015}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Metro Vancouver land package including Ioco townsite sold|url=https://vancouversun.com/business/Metro+Vancouver+land+package+including+Ioco+townsite+sold/10736523/story.html|accessdate=15 January 2015}} 2 : Port Moody|Ghost towns in British Columbia |
