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

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. “Gentlemen,” he said, “I intend to build a saloon here. If you’ll help me build it, you can have all the whiskey you can drink.” The Globe Saloon went up in 24 hours. Some say Vancouver ABOUT THE CITY began with the mill, others give the credit to the saloon. Perhaps they should share the credit.

When you walk through Gastown today—the “old town” Vancouver area named for the garrulous Gassy Jack— and stand by his statue, you’re very close to where the Globe stood. There’s a plaque on the statue’s base (which is shaped like a whiskey barrel) that says the local citizens chose the name ‘Vancouver.’

Don’t you believe it. The name was chosen by the president of the Canadian Pacific Railway, one William Van Horne, a no-nonsense hard-headed man who had pushed the CPR across the country and over the Rockies to reach this point and wanted a name that would indi- cate where the city was. Its formal name was Granville, for the colonial secretary of the time. “No one will know where that is,” Van Horne snorted. “But everyone knows about the Pacific northwest explorations of Captain George Vancouver.” And so Vancouver it became. Vancouver

Incorporation came April 6, 1886 at a modest ceremony in Jonathan Miller’s house. A civic election followed quickly, and a month later the first piece of business at the first meeting of Vancouver’s first city council, presided over by its first mayor, Malcolm Maclean, was the drafting of a petition to lease from the federal government a 1,000-acre military reserve to be enjoyed by the city as a park. That became Stanley Park. (We still pay a lease of $1 a year for it.) The tiny city, a ramshackle tumble of stumps, brush and crude wooden buildings was little more than two months old on June 13, 1886 when a swift and furious fire—started when a sudden freak squall blew in sparks from clear- ing fires to the west—destroyed it in a time recalled as perhaps 20 to 30 minutes. “Vancouver didn’t burn,” said a contemporary, “It exploded.” At least eight people perished, perhaps as many as 20. It was hard to tell, the destruction was so complete. The Great Fire left a pitiful scattering of buildings. One of them, once a general store for the mill’s workers and their families, is now a little museum in the western part of the city. It was moved there on a barge in 1930. Rebuilding began within hours after the fire.

10 Photo courtesy of City of Vancouver Archives The first Canadian Pacific Railway passenger train to arrive in Vancouver, tugged in by the famous little locomotive #374, arrived in May of 1887, adorned with a large photograph of Queen Victoria. (#374, beautifully restored, is on display these days in its own brick-lined room at the eastern end of Davie Street.) When the CPR announced Vancouver would be the railway’s terminus, the town’s population had been about 400. Four years after the railway arrived, it was 13,000. Many, many more thousands of people would arrive in the city over that same line during the following decades. The first train was followed a month later by the arrival from Japan of the CPR-chartered

S.S. Abyssinia with a cargo of tea, silk and mail bound ABOUT THE CITY for London. The Abyssinia’s arrival marked the beginning of the trans-Pacific, trans-Atlantic trade using the new railway. It left no doubt the little city was going to thrive.

A fine sense of the vitality of the city can be seen in a short film made here in 1907 by a man named William Harbeck. He stuck a camera on the front of a city street car and filmed the city’s daily life. It’s black-and-white, of course, and silent, and it’s fascinating. The streets are alive with people hurrying here and there, horse-drawn buggies clatter by, boys on bicycles zip in front of the camera, ladies with street-length gowns sweep (literally!) along the sidewalks . . . it’s the earliest film we know of that shows the city.

The years from 1909 to 1913 were particularly feverish here. One typical newspaper of the day had sixty pages of real estate ads. A tremendous amount of building went on in those years, and many of Vancouver’s most well-known structures—some still standing—went up in those few years: Vancouver

11 • the Vancouver Block, the stocky white building on Granville just south of Georgia Street, topped by a big illuminated clock.

• The Rogers Building, a handsome white terra cotta building at Granville and Pender, named for its developer, Jonathan Rogers (who happened to be the first passenger to step down from the first train)

• The “Old Sun Tower,” the funky green-towered building on Pender Street that began life as the World Building, named for a now-defunct daily newspaper (magician and escape artist Harry Houdini once hung upside down from this building enclosed in a strait jacket . . . and, of course, escaped)

• The Dominion Building, another funky relic of those years, an oddly shaped red-and-orange skyscraper at the northwest corner of Hastings and Cambie.

A walk around downtown is rewarded by seeing these and other famous city buildings. The third and present Hotel Vancouver is a perfect example. Built in the famous chateau style by the CPR the hotel has been a landmark in the city since 1939, two of its first guests being King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother.

Speaking of notable buildings, Vancouver’s Chinatown is rich with them. The combination of their narrow, multi-colored facades (which, oddly, owe as much to Portuguese architecture as Chinese, a fact too detailed to describe here), ornate balconies and colorful Chinese signage makes a visit to Canada’s largest Chinatown an essential part of a visit to the city. Even the street signs are bilingual. Music from China sounds out from open shop doors—when weather permits. There are lots of

12 Line-up at Granville and Hastings Streets to purchase Shaughnessy lots from the C.P.R., ca 1909. ABOUT THE CITY

restaurants here, too, and if you like Dim Sum, you’ll love it here. The Chinese have been a part of the city’s history since the very beginning (thousands of them helped to build the CPR)—but it must be said that relations between the races haven’t always been smooth. Our earlier history is heavily sprinkled with examples of intolerance and discrimination. It’s much calmer these days, and one Van- couver suburb, Richmond, is more than a third Chinese.

Other ethnic groups add to the color of the city: there is an important East Indian neighborhood on south Main Street with street signs in English and Punjabi. Big numbers of Vietnamese, German, Greek, Scandinavian and other nationalities make this perhaps the most cosmopolitan city in North America. Vancouver

13 Photo courtesy of City of Vancouver Archives Native people, too, have shared the city’s history. The first road around the Stanley Park peninsula was paved by the European settlers with shells discarded, after their contents were consumed, in vast native middens.

In 1929, just before the Great Depression, two municipalities adjacent to Vancouver - South Vancouver and Point Grey - amalgamated with us to create Canada’s third largest metropolitan area. It still is. In 2015, the total population of Greater Vancouver – the city itself and 24 other members of Metro Vancouver–topped 2,504,305 residents.

Point Grey, still called that, is home to the University of British Columbia, founded in 1915 and situated on a sprawling 402 hectares. UBC had (in 2015) 42,986 students and 9,735 graduate students. Of the total student body, 12,117 were international students representing 155 different countries. There are other important universities and colleges here, too, chief among them Simon Fraser University in Vancouver’s neighboring city, Burnaby. We joined the rest of the world by air in 1931 with the opening of our first real airport. We’d been embarrassed into building it when famed aviator Charles Lindbergh, touring the continent after his famous solo flight across the Atlantic, said he wouldn’t add Vancouver to his itinerary because “your airport isn’t fit to land on!” Today, Vancouver International Airport is one of the most modern on the continent, and looks to handle more than 20 million

One striking object at today’s airport is a sculpture called Haida Gwaii, by the late Bill Reid. His mother was of the Haida people, and his work reflects that heritage. Haida Gwaii is a particularly dramatic example of Reid’s skill, a huge larger-than-life representation of a canoe filled with mythical creatures: Eagle, the Raven, Bear Mother, Mouse Woman and Dogfish Woman. It’s an exact copy (in jade green) of a black version in front of the Canadian Embassy in Washington, DC. That embassy, by the way, was designed by Canada’s most well-known architect: Arthur Erickson of Vancouver. Erickson’s dramatic work, including Vancouver

15 Simon Fraser University and the courthouse complex in downtown Vancouver, are famous around the world.

When you visit you will see why “Travel & Leisure Magazine” just recently named Stanley Park the second most beautiful park in the world after Park Guell, in Barcelona, Spain.

“The temperate rainforest of Stanley Park is almost completely surrounded by water, with both gorgeous skyline views and wild forest of 500,000 cedar, fir, and hemlock trees. It connects to the historic waterfront and downtown via a 5.5-mile portion of seawall that surrounds the park, popular with joggers, strollers, and cyclists. Rose and rhododendron gardens, nine intricately carved First Nations totem poles, a small golf course, an outdoor summer theater, a seaside swimming pool, and areas for lawn bowling round out its charms.” — Travel & Leisure Magazine

17 FEATURE STORY

A Green Jewel in an Urban Setting: Stanley Park’s History Stanley Park has been Vancouver’s favourite urban playground for as long as the city itself has been in existence. When members of city council convened for their second meeting on May 12, 1886, just five weeks after the city was incorporated, high on the agenda was the matter of a civic park. Council drafted a petition asking the government of Canada to hand over the 1,000-acre military reserve located on the peninsula of land jutting into Burrard Inlet at the “First Narrows”. The federal government complied, and in October, 1888, Governor-General Lord Stanley came to town to dedicate the park. In the rest of the country, Stanley is best known for donating the silverware that became the National Hockey League’s championship trophy. Here in Vancouver, he is known for the park that bears his name.

The city’s founders prided themselves on their farsightedness. Urban parks were, and still are, considered the hallmark of a progressive community. But more than community spirit motivated these pioneer politicians, who were mainly mer- chants and land speculators. By forestalling the possibility that the military reserve might ever be sold off as real estate, they were protecting the value of their own property 18 investments elsewhere in the city. FEATURE STORY No one had consulted the park’s original inhabitants, the First Nations people who had used the peninsula for genera- tions before the arrival of outsiders. The Squamish people had occupied seasonal camps at Whoi Whoi (Lumberman’s Arch), Staitwouk (Second Beach), and Chaythoos (Prospect Point) and were still living there when the park was created. There were several fishermen and millhands living with their families near Brockton Point on land they were never allowed to acquire, and a group of “Kanakas” (Hawaiians) living in Coal Harbour. All of these people were eventually displaced by the government in order to create a pristine wilderness for the residents of the city to enjoy.

Of course, there was nothing pristine about the park. Loggers had been busy since the 1860s hacking down ABOUT THE CITY the original tree cover, and the first thing the city did after taking control was to carve out a scenic road around the perimeter of the peninsula. There is still a First Nations presence in the park. A cluster of totem poles near Brockton Point serves to remind visitors of the first inhabitants. Vancouver

19 The entrance to the park before the causeway was constructed. The original park reserve was an island, cut off at high tide by the rising waters of Coal Harbour and English Bay as they merged in the low area now occupied by Lost Lagoon. The water was crossed by a log bridge until the stone causeway was built in 1916, creating the small lake. The name Lost Lagoon comes from a Pauline Johnson poem:

It is dusk on the Lost Lagoon and we two dreaming the dusk away, beneath the drift of a twilight grey, beneath the drowse of an ending day, and the curve of a golden moon.

The ashes of the famous poet, who lived out her final years in Vancouver, are buried beneath a cairn near Third Beach. Between the world wars, the biggest change to the park was the construction of the main road linking the Georgia Street entrance with Lions Gate Bridge. A group of British investors built the bridge to provide access to their North Shore real estate development, the British Properties. It opened in November 1938, by which time work crews had completed the road, known subsequently as The Causeway. It had been approved by voters in a public plebiscite and carried out largely as a Depression-era make-work project. For many years this thoroughfare featured one lane of traffic in each direction and a middle lane, known aptly as the “suicide lane” because it was open to traffic for passing in either direction. Nowadays, traffic is controlled by signal lights.
