About North Vancouver, BC

The Coast Salish Indigenous Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh inhabited this area for thousands of years before the first Europeans arrived in Vancouver 200 years ago. Logging began here in 1862, clearing the site of the City of North Vancouver to make way for settlers. The indigenous roots of North Vancouver can be found in local art galleries that feature Coast Salish art from the past to the present. 

Development began in the early 1900s with a booming shipbuilding industry and a ferry service linking North Vancouver to the City of Vancouver. However, it wasn’t until 1925, with the completion of the Second Narrows Bridge (now called the Iron Workers Memorial Second Narrows Bridge), that rail and road links supplemented ferry service. The critical transportation link to Vancouver, the Lions Gate Bridge, was built in 1938 by British Pacific Properties (a group of investors and land developers led by the Guinness Brewing Company). The second world war prompted a rapid expansion in shipbuilding at the foot of Lonsdale and led to a real estate boom in the post-war years.
