History of Vancouver
Intersection at Granville and Hastings Streets, early 1900s. HISTORY OF VANCOUVER Vancouver’s history as an urban centre got off to a snappy start in 1867. All that was here on the south shore of Burrard Inlet was the Hastings Sawmill and a couple of tiny native family groupings too small to call settlements. It was so quiet you could shout across the inlet and be heard by someone on the other side. Then, on the last day of September, a ruddy-faced and forever- talking saloon keeper from New Westminster, John Deighton (they called him “Gassy Jack”), came rowing around the heavily forested peninsula that loomed over the entrance to the inlet and aimed his rowboat straight for the mill. With him in the boat was his native wife, her mother and a cousin, a couple of sticks of furniture, an old yellow dog and a barrel of whiskey. The history of this area was about to change forever. The canny Deighton knew that the workers in the mill had nowhere nearby to get a drink. They either had to walk 8 Photo courtesy of City of Vancouver Archives the many miles through the forest (where they might meet a bear) to New Westminster, or row themselves there around the peninsula on a trip that would take the better part of a day. There was a larger mill on the other side of the inlet, with a tiny settlement around it, but it was run by the stern Sewell Moody, and he allowed no liquor of any kind. Deighton beached his tiny craft on the shore near the mill and approached the workmen.
