Historic Foundations and Early Settlements

Victoria boasts an extensive history marked by its early roots as a hub of maritime commerce and colonial endeavors. Established originally as a fur trading post in the early 19th century, the city quickly evolved into a center of British colonial administration on the Pacific coast. Visitors interested in local history will appreciate the well-preserved historic districts, where 19th-century architecture and cobblestone streets narrate tales of explorers, traders, and early settlers. The legacy of the Hudson’s Bay Company is still evident in some of the city's oldest structures, offering keen insights into the socio-economic transitions that shaped the region.
