Fun fact about Richmond...
Do you know what the Cora Brown subdivision was?
The community of Burkeville is still around, but there was another subdivision on Sea Island, Cora Brown, that eventually got razed to make way for YVR's runways.
The first residents moved into the Cora Brown subdivision in 1946 and eventually there were about 250 households. By the end of 1974, all the homes had been bought and the residents had left to live elsewhere.
