British Columbia was home to Indigenous First Nations communities for 10,000 years before Europeans arrived. Vancouver's harbor became a trade hub in the mid-1800s, with lumber, whaling, and gold rushes enticing international settlers. It soon developed into a transportation center, as the terminus of the Canadian Pacific transcontinental railway and later Trans-Canada Highway. Today, Vancouver prides itself on being one of the most culturally diverse and environmentally sustainable cities in Canada. Incorporate history into your Vancouver Private Tour.
