=History of Vancouver=
The townsite of Gastown grew around a logging sawmill established in 1867, enlarging to become the townsite of Granville. With the announcement that the railhead would reach the site, it was renamed "Vancouver" and incorporated as a city in 1886. By 1887, the transcontinental railway was extended to the city to take advantage of its large natural seaport, which soon became a vital link in a trade route between the Orient, Eastern Canada, and London. Port Metro Vancouver is the new name for the Port of Vancouver, which is now the busiest and largest in Canada, as well as the fourth largest port (by tonnage) in North America.<ref>[http://vancouver.ca:8765/query.html?qt=History+of+vancouver&col=all&qt=-url%3A%2Fctyclerk%2Fcclerk%2F&submit=+Search+ History of Vancouver]</ref>
