is a
Village in the
Comox Valley on
Vancouver Island in
British Columbia , Canada. The village got its name after
Cumberland in
Great Britain . The name was appropriate as both were heavy
Coal producers. The site was originally incorporated as Union because it was first constructed for the Union Coal Company. There are many old company houses and structures still intact in Cumberland, and at one point it boasted the second largest
Chinatown on the west coast of North America.
