James Murray Yale Henry & Eliza Peers owned land in the area 1852, but didn’t move to the area until 1858. 1859 - Alexander Grant Dallas 1873 – Louis Duval 1891 – Robert Patterson Rithet 1900 – Frederick and William & Esther Quick Transportation & Access In 1863 a daily coach service from Victoria was implemented, leaving from the city in the morning by way of the west road to North Saanich and returning in the evening by the east road. Access from Victoria was up Quadra to West Saanich Road and East Saanich Road (Veiwmont now) Victoria & Sidney Railway Inaugural run was in 1894. There was a station called Glanford and a station here at Royal Oak. At the stretch along the Royal Oak Shopping Centre the V&S rail ran along the west side of West Saanich road. Royal Oak Station was at the corner of West Saanich Road and East Saanich Road (now Viewmont Avenue). The V&S would drop off mail and supplies. The engines ran on burning cordwood. Locals called it the Cordwood Ltd. as it also transported cordwood to Victoria from the settlers on the peninsula. A large number of pioneers supplemented their farming with the sale of cordwood. The rail line entered Royal Oak from the south approximately at a location where the intersection of Glanford Ave and W. Saanich Road is today. The rail line then climbed the long slope to a ridge that lead to Beaver and Elk Lakes.

  • Fort Langley History (English)
    Brief History of Fort Langley The original Fort Langley was established in 1827 by the Hudson's Bay Company. It served as part of a network of fur trade forts operating in the New Caledonia and Columbia Districts (now British Columbia and northern Washington). The fort maintained a good and peaceful trade in furs, salmon, and even cranberries with the local native inhabitants. Because of its strategic position on the Fraser River, the post developed into a regional depot and forwarding centre. European trade goods and supplies destined for the interior were received from the arriving steamers, re-packaged and sent inland from this fort and the District's outgoing fur, fish, and cranberry exports were prepared for overseas shipment. Langley also blazed the first useable all- Canadian route from the coast to the interior and with its sister posts helped preserve British interests west of the Rockies. British Interests on the Pacific Slope The first British interest was sparked by the rich supply of sea otter pelts brought back by mariners working the Pacific coast about 1793 and the abundance of fur collected by the North West Company in its exploration of the inland trade of the Pacific Slope from 1811. The Coast Salish had some control over the maritime fur trade, as it was a reciprocal relationship. Both the natives and the fur traders agreed upon price and goods traded. Each group’s satisfaction ensured the continuation of the trading relationship. After the union of the North West and Hudson's Bay companies in 1821, a Royal Licence was issued to the reconstituted Hudson's Bay Company, giving it a monopoly on trade west of the Rockies.

  • CHAPTER 15 the Early and Middle Pre-Contact Periods at Fort Langley
    CHAPTER 15 The Early and Middle Pre-Contact Periods at Fort Langley National Historic Site (DhRp-36) Stanley A. Copp Langara College Introduction and Background 8400 uncalibrated radiocarbon years BP (ca. 225 to 9500 Fort Langley National Historic Site is located on a sloping, calibrated rc yrs BP). Most radiocarbon assays are reported elevated post-glacial landform on the south side of the here as uncalibrated estimates, for calibrated ranges see Fraser River that was chosen as the second location for the Table 1. Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) in 1839 (Figure 1). The original 1827-1839 Fort Langley I (DhRp-37) was located several kilometers downstream, but was determined to be unsatisfactory because of its poor defensive position and ship mooring difficulties. The entire fort and contents were subsequently moved upstream where ships could anchor and the fort complex be more easily defended, if necessary, from the height of land. The 1839/40-1888 Fort Langley II (DhRp-36) experienced a series of palisaded expansions until shortly after the 1858 Gold Rush. The post experienced a decline in importance until it was finally sold in 1888 and buildings were removed (the palisades had long since rotted) except for the Sales Shop dating from 1840. Many areas of the previous fort were subjected to ploughing ‘bees’, the results of which were identified during archaeological excavations as linear marks that penetrated into pre-contact deposits. Excavations conducted between 1988 and 1996, under the auspices of Parks Canada, the Kwantlen Nation and a consortium of community colleges (Langara, Douglas, Capilano, Fraser Valley and Kwantlen) focused originally on recording and recovery of data related to the historic HBC fort.

CSC, Victoria, Canada BC V8W 3P6 Received 23 December 2002; accepted 27 June 2003 Abstract Two anomalous, gray, silty clay beds are present in ODP cores collected from Saanich Inlet, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. The beds, which date to about 10,500 14C yr BP (11,000 calendar years BP), contain Tertiary pollen derived from sedimentary rocks found only in the Fraser Lowland, on the mainland of British Columbia and Washington just east of the Strait of Georgia. Abundant illite-muscovite in the sediments supports a Fraser Lowland provenance. The clay beds are probably distal deposits of huge floods that swept through the Fraser Lowland at the end of the Pleistocene. Muddy overflow plumes from these floods crossed the Strait of Georgia and entered Saanich Inlet, where the sediment settled from suspension and blanketed diatom-rich mud on the fiord floor.

Northern Affairs and National Resources 79023-8—2 FORT LANGLEY NATIONAL HISTORIC PARK On November 19, 1858, at Fort Langley, an important trading post of the Hudson's Bay Company, the Crown Colony of British Columbia was formally proclaimed. At Fort Langley, founded in 1827, the traders and artisans of the Hudson's Bay Company established the first permanent British settlement on the lower mainland of British Columbia and developed not only an active fur trade but also practical and productive agricultural and industrial activities. It was fitting that Fort Langley should be partially THE QUEEN'S PRINTER AND CONTROLLER OF STATIONERY restored for the Centennial of the Province of British OTTAWA Columbia in 1958. The restoration was carried out in 1957-1958 under an agreement concluded on November 20, 1956 between the Governments of Canada and of British Columbia.
