This neighborhood has a long and diverse history for sure. Way back before Lewis and Clark arrived here, the native indians lived along the banks of the mighty Columbia River. When the British established the original Fort Vancouver to house the Hudson’s Bay Company’s fur trading business, the natives and new tenants of the land lived peacefully together. The established Neighborhood dates back to the Fort Vancouver years, developing in the 1820’s through the 1840’s. This neighborhood was called "East Vancouver".
The Hudson’s Bay neighborhood has always been the center of activity in the City of Vancouver and the Pacific Northwest. Hudson’s Bay is characterized by older homes, scattered apartment houses, condominium buildings, a community commercial area, and areas of light industrial use. There are many multi-family type dwellings spread throughout the neighborhood, these apartment buildings, townhomes and condominiums, were primarily built in the period from 1970 to present.
