The first European settlement within the current city limits did not appear until 1862, in what is now the Marbo district. Moody Wai (now City of North Vancouver A sawmill opened in 1863, marking the beginning of logging in the Vancouver area. Later, another sawmill appeared in the area of what is now Broton Point, but because of the strong currents in the area, it was moved to the end of what is now Goya Street in 1867, and was renamed the Hearsting Mill, which became the core site of the future development of Vancouver. In 1867, Jack Dayton established a pub near the Hurstington Mill, and the settlement now known as Gastown gradually took shape around the pub.
British Columbia The colonial government surveyed Gastown in 1870 and set aside a town site called Granville; Name from the time British colony Minister, Earl of Gulland Lake. Due to its location as a deep-water harbour, the town of Granville was chosen by the Canadian Pacific Railway as the terminus of its railway.

On June 13, the Great Vancouver Fire destroyed the city. The Vancouver Fire Department was established and reconstruction began immediately.

Dharma chapter

Unlike other municipalities in British Columbia, Vancouver is governed by a special provincial statute, the Vancouver Act. This Act, passed in 1953, replaced the Vancouver Jurisdiction Act, 1921, and gave the municipality greater and more powers than those given by the Municipal Act of British Columbia.

government

Vancouver is governed by a 10-member City Council, which serves a three-year term. Vancouver does not have the same electoral districts as other cities in North America, and its city council members are therefore directly elected by all Vancouverites.
Vancouver is different from British Columbia Under the Vancouver Charter, legislation passed in 1953 that replaced the City of Vancouver Act of 1921 gave the city more and different powers than other communities under the City Act of British Columbia.
Since World War II, the government has been dominated by center-right non-party associations, although there were some major center-left events before 2008. In 2002, the NPA undermined the drug policy issue, and the League of Progressive Voters won on a harm reduction platform. Subsequently, the only legal safe injection site in North America opened for the city's large number of intravenous heroin users.
Vancouver is made up of 11 Vancouver City councillors, nine board members and seven committee members, all of whom serve three-year terms. For Vancouver, all municipal elections are conducted on a large basis. Historically, at all levels of government, Vancouver's more affluent west side voted along conservative or liberal lines, while eastern cities voted along the left. The results of the provincial elections in 2005 and the federal elections in 2006 proved this again.
Despite the polarization, some political consensus has emerged in Vancouver. Such as protecting city parks with a focus on bus rapid transit development rather than the highway system, ways to reduce illegal drug use, and a general focus on community development, these policies have gained broad support across Vancouver's political spectrum.

History and culture

EDITOR
The First Nations, made up of various tribes, were the earliest inhabitants of Vancouver, predating the arrival of Europeans to the province in the 18th century. Although it was the Spanish who first occupied the land, the city was named after George Vancouver, an English sea captain who arrived here in 1792.
With the completion of the Fraser River Gold Rush and the construction of the Trans-Canadian East-West Railway in the 19th century, Vancouver developed rapidly and its population increased rapidly. By 1901, the population had reached 29,000.
Today, Vancouver is one of the most important cities in Canada and has one of the fastest growing economies. Every year, many new immigrants from all over the world settle in Vancouver, making the city a multicultural city.
Historically, Chinese immigrants have flocked to Canada's west coast. It was built by about 6,500 Chinese immigrants in the 1880s Canadian Pacific Railway They eventually settled along the railway lines and established Chinatown in Vancouver.
To date, about one-third of Vancouver's population is Asian, the largest of which is Chinese, with more than 10,000 new Chinese immigrants arriving every year. Chinese culture has become an important part of Vancouver's diverse multi-ethnic culture. [4]
with Canadian Pacific Railway When the railway was opened to Vancouver, the Chinese workers who had been involved in the construction of the railway also lost their jobs. The demobilized Chinese workers stayed in Wen to earn a living and formed Chinese settlements. By 1887, Chinatown had a population of about 90, and the term "China Town" appeared in mainstream local newspapers. Because Vancouver is located at the mouth of the Fraser River, the salinity of the river is naturally higher than that of the upper reaches of the Fraser River, and the early Chinese also called this place "salt water port". A transliteration of "Vancouver" began to appear, but there was no common transliteration at the beginning, and "Wan Gao Hua" and "Wengcoba" were both used. By the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the transliteration was gradually unified into "Yun Gaohua" or "Yun Gehua", and the abbreviation of "Yun Port" and "Cloud City" was derived.
