Coquitlam is a city situated in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, and it's the province's fifth largest city. It is 10 to 15 km east of Vancouver. Coquitlam's area is 152.5 sq km, making it the largest of the three Tri-Cities. Coquitlam made up of two large parcels of land, connected in the middle by a slender portion, forming a tilted hourglass shape.

Burke Mountain, Eagle Ridge, Coquitlam Lake and Coquitlam Mountain lie to the north. To the west of Westwood Plateau, in the large upper parcel, is the Anmore community. On the east, the upper parcel follows the west banks of the Pitt River. Highway 7A passes through the narrow centre portion of Coquitlam, with Port Moody to the west, and Port Coquitlam on the east. To the west of the large lower portion is the City of Burnaby, and Port Coquitlam lies to the east. New Westminster is to the southwest. On the south, the city follows the northern banks of the Fraser River. South of the Fraser River is Surrey.



Designated the "Regional Town Centre" in the Metro Vancouver Livable Region Strategic Plan, Coquitlam Town Centre is slated to become the city's strategic hub, with high concentration of high-density housing and offices; cultural, entertainment and education facilities; all linked by the TransLink rapid transit service. Many of the core public buildings like City Hall, the RCMP station, Coquitlam Library, the main fire hall, the David Lam Campus of Douglas College, the City Centre Aquatic Complex, the Evergreen Cultural Centre, Percy Perry Stadium and Town Centre Park are situated in the Town Centre.

Southwest Coquitlam is the original city core. It includes the Maillardville and Fraser River industrial area, as well as the large residential areas of Austin Heights. Austin Heights is Coquitlam's original walkable neighbourhood, with businesses along Ridgeway and Austin Avenues. The small community offers a great selection of shops, restaurants and services. The Austin Heights residential area — locally known as "The Bump" — includes Como Lake, a popular urban fishing and recreation area, and headwaters for the Como watershed. Many of the older homes on large lots in this area are being torn down and replaced with larger houses.

In Westwood/Burke, there's been a shift of the primary urban development to Burke Mountain over the past decade, reflecting the completion of development on Westwood Plateau — with 4,525 upscale homes and two golf courses — and the 2006 opening of the David Avenue Connector. The neighbourhoods of Mundy/Cape Horn include Ranch Park, Meadow Brook, Coquitlam East and Cape Horn. These neighbourhoods are family oriented, close to transit and shopping, and represent excellent value.

Coquitlam offers affordable housing options ranging from high-end apartments and new executive homes to smaller houses and duplexes, and a smaller selection of townhomes and condominiums.

Coquitlam began to develop as a community around 1889 due mainly to the efforts of Frank Ross and James McLaren, and their mill. Fraser Mills was one of the most sophisticated lumber mills in the area. At the time of its incorporation in 1908, the District of Coquitlam had 20 houses, one store, a post office, office block, hospital, barber shop, and pool hall. In 1910 a large group of French Canadian mill workers travelled across the country from Quebec to settle in the area now known as Malliardville. At one time, Coquitlam had the largest Francophone concentration in Western Canada.

The average annual temperature is 9.7 °C. Coquitlam receives 1,969 mm (77.5 in) of annual average precipitation.

Coquitlam receives an average of 64.4 cm of snow each year.
