overview：

there aren‘t many cities in the world that offer vancouver’s combination of big-city lifestyle and outdoor fun in such cheek-by-jowl proximity。 ski in the morning， sail in the afternoon and still make it back to town in time for a cocktail or three。

vancouver is still a city of new immigrants - wander the streets and you‘ll hear a dozen different languages。 the city also attracts young professionals and artists from the eastern provinces who come here to enjoy its recreation and laid-back sophistication。

pre-20th-century history：

the vancouver area was first inhabited by the salish indians。 in 1867， a white town sprang up around the bar of one ’gassy‘ jack deighton， so named for his tendency to talk - or so the story goes。 the settlement became known as gastown。 after being linked by rail to eastern canada， the town took its name from the british explorer captain george vancouver， who spent all of a single day on the site in 1792。 in 1887 the canadian pacific railway’s first train choo-chooed through the city， the first ship docked from china， and vancouver began its boom as a trading centre and transportation hub。

the building of the panama canal， which was completed in 1914， meant easier access to markets in europe and along north america‘s east coast。 this brought about a boom for the bc economy and for its main trade centre， vancouver。 big business grew and so did big unions。
