Popkum is a community in Yale Division Yale Land District, British Columbia, Canada. It is classified as a town. Popkum is located at 49.2000°N, 121.7333°W.

Popkum rests in the broad embrace of the Fraser Valley, where the land softens from the rugged shoulders of the Coast Mountains into fertile plains. It lies 16.2 km east-north-east of Chilliwack, BC (from Chilliwack, BC: bearing 77°T), and is situated 4.4 km south-east of Agassiz. Here, the air often carries the damp, earthy scent of the surrounding forests, a constant reminder of the wildness that presses in on its edges. The sky, when it clears after a rain, can stretch an impossibly vast blue, painting the peaks in hues of deep indigo and slate. The Fraser River, a mighty artery of silt and history, courses nearby, its immensity a silent, powerful presence shaping the very character of the landscape. This place, Popkum, has long been a crossroads, its history intertwined with the flow of the great river and the journeys of those who followed it. Indigenous peoples have known these lands for millennia, their deep connection to the natural world a legacy that still resonates. Later, settlers arrived, drawn by the promise of rich farmland and the burgeoning industries of the region. The economy here has ebbed and flowed with the fortunes of agriculture and resource extraction, but a grounded resilience remains, a quiet strength in the people who call Popkum home. Even now, the hum of machinery from local sawmills or the distant rumble of trains hints at the continued pulse of industry, a stark contrast to the serene, almost timeless quality of a late afternoon light that settles, soft and golden, upon the fields.
