Geschiedenis
The District of North Vancouver was incorporated in 1891 to cover the entire expanse of the North Shore from Horseshoe Bay to Deep Cove, with the exception of Moodyville. Most of the early development was in the lower Lonsdale area, which led to the creation of the City of North Vancouver in 1907.
Disruption of communications with Vancouver, coupled with the Depression, led to both the City and District entering receivership in 1933. The war years led to an economic revival of North Vancouver, with many projects, including the opening of the Cleveland Dam in 1954, the Lions Gate Hospital in 1961, and a new municipal hall. The economic and educational level is one of the highest of any of the Lower Mainland communities. The North Shore has also become increasingly popular as a venue for winter sports, with Grouse Mountain and Seymour attracting many visitors year-round for skiing, hiking, mountain biking and other activities. A well developed park system provides many opportunities for recreation.
