What’s in a name? If you ask anyone about Lulu Island, they might just giggle. Lulu Island, the largest island in the Fraser River estuary, carries a name as unique as its history. You see, this island wasn’t always called Lulu. Back in 1862, it caught the eye of a certain Richard Moody, a prominent figure in British Columbia’s history. But it wasn’t the island’s beauty that solely captivated him. It was a woman. Lulu Sweet, a popular showgirl, had charmed her way into Moody’s heart. In a grand gesture of affection, he decided to name the island after her. Today, Lulu Island is home to the bustling city of Richmond. It’s hard to imagine this thriving hub as a quiet fishing village, but that’s exactly what it was before the arrival of the Lulu Island & Steveston Railway. The railway breathed new life into the island, connecting it to the booming port city of Vancouver and paving the way for the bustling metropolis we see today.
