History
The area around present-day Vancouver was ancestral Chinookan land; Fort Vancouver later served as a major Hudson's Bay Company post and regional trading hub in the 19th century.
Conservation
Urban recreation can stress riverfront habitats; stick to marked trails, pack out trash, and respect riparian vegetation to protect the Columbia River corridor.
