Queen Victoria named "NEW WESTMINSTER" BC CANADA - The Royal City 2024

WELCOME TO THE ROYAL CITY. Governor James Douglas established New Westminster in 1859 as the capital of British Columbia. The Royal Engineers surveyed the city and Queen Victoria named it. As a result, New Westminster's nickname is “The Royal City.” As the oldest city in western Canada, New Westminster has a long and rich history. In 1859, the Royal Engineers arrived from England to establish the first capital of the new colony of British Columbia. The chosen site was selected both for its beauty and strategic location on the Fraser River. New Westminster (also called "New West") is a city in the Lower Mainland region of British Columbia, Canada, and a member municipality of Metro Vancouver. It was founded by Major-General Richard Moody as the capital of the new-born Colony of British Columbia in 1858, and continued in that role until the Mainland and Island Colonies were merged in 1866, and was the Mainland's largest city from that year until it was passed in population by Vancouver during the first decade of the 20th century. New Westminster is one of western Canada's busiest ports, a major rail junction, and one of the province's largest industrial and marketing centres. Recorded on Nov 1 2024 #ExploreVancouverCanada
