Located along Highway #3 between Midway and Grand Forks,
Greenwood is the smallest city in Canada with a mere population of 676 residents, down somewhat from its peak 110 years previous of several thousand. Spreading all of 1/4 mile each side of the highway, it stretches less than 2 miles up and down the highway, making this city's land area less than a square mile.
Not only is Greenwood Canada’s smallest city, it was officially named the municipality having the
best tasting water in the world by the
Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting in West Virginia in 2012.
There seems to be a lot of good tasting water in British Columbia, as many small communities have placed first, second or third in the municipal water division of the taste testing over the years.
