West Vancouver Live Cam

West Vancouver is a district municipality located on the North Shore of the greater Vancouver area in British Columbia, Canada. It has a rich history that stretches back to the indigenous peoples who originally inhabited the region. Here's an overview of West Vancouver's history:

Indigenous Peoples: The area that is now West Vancouver was historically inhabited by the Coast Salish indigenous peoples, specifically the Squamish Nation. They had a deep connection to the land and waters, relying on fishing, hunting, and gathering for their sustenance.

Early European Exploration and Settlement: European exploration of the area began in the late 18th century when Spanish and British explorers arrived in the region. The British established fur trading posts along the coast, and this marked the first contact between indigenous peoples and European settlers. However, significant settlement did not occur until the late 19th century.
