Its location on hills with views of the harbour and the mountains of the Coast Range make it a popular tourist centre. The city was settled before 1875, and called Granville; it was incorporated in 1886 after a rail link was built and named in honour of Capitain George Vancouver. The University of British Columbia is there. Vancouver was the first of the Canadian cities to declare itself a Nuclear Weapons Free Zone. |
