  • Vancouver's History in a Nutshell
    Vancouver’s history in a nutshell Vancouver’s history in a nutshell Early human presence Early human presence dates back at least 12.000 years ago, when people from Asia crossed the –then frozen- Bering Strait and spread over the North American continent. The native people of western Canada used the rivers to travel by dugout canoes. As the rivers also carried an important food source –salmon-, plankhouse settlements used to be located along the riverbanks. First white explorers Although human presence dates back thousands of years ago, the first European explorers landed in western Canada late 18th century. In 1792, George Vancouver sails down present day Burrard Inlet (which is named after a good friend of him). His mission was, in service of the British Crown, to map the west coast. In 1808, Simon Fraser is the first white man who reached the area over land. The Rocky Mountains were a huge challenging barrier and prevented early contact. Trade By establishing the first Hudson Bay Company trading post in 1827, trade started in the area. Fur and salmon were the most valuable trade products. In return, native people received modern products like pots and pans, sugar, alcohol, blankets, tobacco, and guns. Gastown The land was covered with immense trees. It’s 1867 when Edward Stamps builds a mill on the south shore of Burrard inlet. Thirsty workers built (in return for a barrel of whiskey) a pub under the authority of (Gassy) Jack Deighton. The owner Jack was a very talkative – gassy- bartender. The settlement around the pub and mill is named ‘Gastown’.

May not be used or reproduced without permission. Scholar`s Choice: Cornelia Hahn Oberlander-From Exegesis to Green Roof by Nina Antonetti Assistant Professor, Landscape Studies, Smith College 2009 Canadian Center for Architecture Collection Support Grant Recipient, December 2009 March 2011 What do a biblical garden and a green roof have in common? The beginning of an answer is scrawled across the back of five bank deposit slips in the archives of Cornelia Hahn Oberlander at the CCA. These modest slips of paper, which contain intriguing exegesis and landscape iconography, are the raw material for a nineteen-page document Oberlander faxed to her collaborator Moshe Safdie when answering the broad programming requirements of Library Square, the Vancouver Public Library and its landscape. For the commercial space of the library, Oberlander considered the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the hanging gardens at Isola Bella, Lago Maggiore; for the plaza, the civic spaces of ancient Egypt and Greece; and for the roof, the walled, geometric gardens of the Middle Ages and Early Renaissance. Linking book to landscape, she illustrated the discovery of the tree of myrrh during the expedition of Hatshepsut, referenced the role of plants in Genesis and Shakespeare, and quoted a poem by environmental orator Chief Seattle.
