  • George Black — Early Pioneer Settler on the Coquitlam River

    George Black — Early Pioneer Settler on the Coquitlam River

    George Black — Early Pioneer Settler on the Coquitlam River Researched and written by Ralph Drew, Belcarra, BC, December 2018. The ‘Colony of British Columbia’ was proclaimed at Fort Langley on November 19th,1858. In early 1859, Colonel Richard Clement Moody, RE, selected the site for the capital of the colony on the north side of the Fraser River where the river branches. The Royal Engineers established their camp at ‘Sapperton’ and proceeded to layout the future townsite of ‘Queensborough’ (later ‘New Westminster’). On July 17th, 1860, ‘New Westminster’ incorporated to become the first municipality in Western Canada. During the winter of 1858–59, the Fraser River froze over for several months and Colonel Moody realized his position when neither supply boat nor gun-boat could come to his aid in case of an attack. As a consequence, Colonel Moody built a “road” to Burrard Inlet in the summer of 1859 as a military expediency, in order that ships might be accessible via salt water. The “road” was initially just a pack trail that was built due north from ‘Sapperton’ in a straight line to Burrard Inlet. In 1861, the pack trail was upgraded to a wagon road ― known today as ‘North Road’. (1) The ‘Pitt River Road’ from New Westminster to ‘Pitt River Meadows’ was completed in June 1862. (2) In the summer of 1859, (3)(4) the first European family to settle in the Coquitlam area arrived on the schooner ‘Rob Roy’ on the west side of the Pitt River to the area known as ‘Pitt River Meadows’ (today ‘Port Coquitlam’) — Alexander McLean (1809–1889), his wife (Jane), and their two small boys: Alexander (1851–1932) and Donald (1856–1930).

The Archives settled into its new home on Pinetree Way in January and enjoyed the increased space and visibility the new location offered. The Archives presented three exhibits in the new space, while continuing to explore Coquitlam’s past through the popular online exhibit program. A new reference services model was rolled out in the second half of the year that included drop-in opening hours. The Archives continued its successful acquisition program, which resulted in a number of fascinating collections added to the permanent holdings. A significant digitization project made hundreds of historical Council Committee Minutes available to researchers online. Finally, the vital arrangement and description work continued to ensure the Archives’ holdings are preserved and made available to the community. CITY OF COQUITLAM | ARCHIVES 3 2019 HIGHLIGHTS A NEW HOME All of the Archives’ holdings are now conveniently preserved in a single location with a regulated temperature. This means a significant time savings when accessing material in the vault, and the stable storage environment ensures that the Archives is able to honour its commitment to preserve the community’s documentary heritage.
