For thousands of years, the Indigenous Squamish and their kin Tsleil-Waututh of the Coast Salish lived in the land known as North Vancouver. Just over 200 years ago, they had their first glimpse of the Europeans. The Spanish arrived first, giving their name to Vancouver’s Spanish Banks and in 1792, Captain George Vancouver explored the local shores. But it was not until 1862 that the first attempt was made to harvest the North Shore’s rich stands of timber, leading to fuller settlement of the area that would later become North Vancouver. Wallace Shipyard operated at the lower end of Lonsdale and was one of the country's main warship producers during WWII.
