HISTORY OF VANCOUVER

Thanks to my sister Jan Urata for this informative 30-minute video on the history of Vancouver from 7000 BCE narrated by a Vancouverite.

What we know as Vancouver today was considered the "outskirts" in 1866 because New Westminster was the main settlement.

The road we know as Kingsway was originally a trail used by First Nations for generations.

In 1886, the area known as Granville officially became the City of Vancouver.
