Description : In the beginning Queen Elizabeth Park was a city landmark known affectionately as Little Mountain as its summit was just over 501 feet. Its surface had been scarred at the turn of the century when it was quarried for its rock which served to build Vancouver,s first roadways.

In 1827, Hudson,s Bay Company built a trading post on Fraser River. It was the first permanent non-native settlement in the Vancouver area. Since 1893 the company has occupied a prime location at the corner of Georgia and Granville in Vancouver,s downtown core and they,re still trading.
