Vancouver (pronounced /væn'ku?v?r/) is a coastal city and major seaport located in the Lower Mainland of southwestern British Columbia, Canada. The city is bounded by English Bay, Burrard Inlet, the Fraser River, the city of Burnaby, and the University Endowment Lands. Vancouver is named after Captain George Vancouver, a British explorer. The name Vancouver itself originates from the Dutch "van Coevorden", denoting somebody from (in Dutch "van") Coevorden, an old city in The Netherlands. [3]According to the 2006 Census, the city of Vancouver had a population just over 578,000[1] and its Census Metropolitan Area exceeded 2.1 million people.[2] As of July 2009, the city's estimated population surpassed 615,000 and that of the metropolitan area exceeded 2.3 million.[4] Vancouver is the largest metropolitan area in Western Canada and the third largest in the country, although the city proper is ranked eighth nationally.[5][6] Vancouver is ethnically diverse, with 52% of city residents having a first language other than English.[7][8] The area east of Vancouver was first settled by Europeans in the 1860s as a result of immigration to the Colony of British Columbia caused by the Fraser and Cariboo Gold Rushes, with only a very few settling in what would become the city of Vancouver. The city's roots are based in logging and the founding of a large lumber mill, which gave birth to Gastown. The settlement expanded into a metropolitan centre following the arrival of the transcontinental railway in 1887. The Port of Vancouver became internationally significant as a node in the global trade network of the British Empire with the combined steamship and railway of the Canadian Pacific Railway shortening shipping times between the Orient and London.[9][10] The port is now the busiest in Canada, and the fourth largest port (by tonnage) in North America.[11] Prior to the 1980s, the economy of Vancouver had traditionally relied on British Columbia's resource sectors forestry, mining, fishing and agriculture. Since then it has further diversified, and today its second largest industry, after forestry, is tourism, and Vancouver has become the third-largest film production centre in North America after Los Angeles and New York City, earning it the nickname Hollywood North.[12][13][14][15][16]
