Prior to the arrival of Captain Vancouver in 1792, the Squamish Valley was inhabited by the Squamish tribes, who lived in North Vancouver and came to the area to hunt and fish. Logging was and still is one of the primary industries in Squamish. During the 1850's gold miners came to find gold and an easier route to the interior. In 1889, Henry Judd built a home in the residential area of Brackendale. More settlers started to come and not long after Mr. Mashiter opened the first store and became the first postmaster. The first school was built in 1893 and was located just north of the Mamquam Bridge. There were only nine children enrolled in the school at the time. In 1902, the first hotel was built on the old dock in Squamish and the upper Valley began to open up. During the 1900's logging began up in the Diamond Head area. Using oxen, they skidded logs into the Squamish River, which was the only way of transporting the logs at that time. Logging was and still is one of the primary industries in Squamish. In 1927 the Pacific Great Eastern Railway (now BC Rail) connected Prince George to Quesnel. Years later in 1954 the rail line was opened from Vancouver to Prince George. Until that time, the people who settled in the Squamish Valley had to rely on boats that regularly came up Howe Sound carrying passengers and supplies. In 1958, Highway 99 was opened and shortly thereafter it continued on north through Whistler and Pemberton. Squamish was no longer an isolated community and has since continued to grow and prosper. Squamish now has a population of approximately 15,000. For more information about Squamish visit www.squamish.ca |
