Although construction of the refinery was finished in 1914 and it was in operation by 1915, the Ioco townsite wasn't planned and constructed until 1920-21. Before the townsite, many refinery workers avoided the difficult commute from Port Moody to the refinery by building shacks along the north shore of the Burrard Inlet next to the refinery. Among the shacks, in what was called the Shacktown, there was a store, post office, and a small one roomed school.3
