and learn more about the 19th

Gastown what it is.

Established the same year that Canada became a nation, Gastown grew into Canada’s third largest city and one of its most cosmopolitan. But the Gastown district today retains its historic charm, independent spirit and distinctiveness. There’s no mistaking Gastown for any other area of Vancouver, or of Canada for that matter.

As with most historical areas in major cities around the world Gastown has been subjected to cycles of growth, importance, vibrancy, neglect and rebirth. We are now entering a new period of development that encompasses the historical, cultural and commercial perspectives. A welcome addition playing a role in this particular cycle is the inclusion of a burgeoning resident population calling Gastown its home. Gastown is now becoming a community as well.
