Today is #VancouverDay, and the incorporated city is turning 140+. But the history of settlement on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations goes back much, much further. 🧵

#WalkAroundTheCity

Hastings Sawmill and Wharf - 1872

Maple Tree Squre - 1880

In a related note, it's #VancouverDay 139+. The city was incorporated on this date in 1886.

The "+" denotes the fact that the city we know as Vancouver is situated on territories that have been inhabited since "time out of mind."
