Vancouver Island (British Colony) Vancouver Island was a separate Crown Colony from 1849 until 1866 when it was united with the Colony of British Columbia. Vancouver Island, a large island in the Pacific Ocean off Canada's west coast, was once a separate colony from British Columbia, which it is a part of now. The Mainland, as the rest of the province is known, was annexed by the governor of Vancouver Island, in 1858, when gold was discovered in the interior, and Victoria was flooded with gold seekers traveling from the remains of the 1849 California gold rush. www.crwflags.com /fotw/flags/ca-bc-vi.html   (1484 words)

British Columbia In order to establish government and maintain law and order around the goldfields, the British established the mainland colony of British Columbia in 1858 under the authority of James Douglas, who remained governor of Vancouver Island. In 1849 the British government granted Vancouver Island to the HBC for colonization, and in 1851 James DOUGLAS, an official of the company, became governor of the colony. British Columbia is known internationally for the extent and diversity of its opportunities for outdoor recreation, particularly sportfishing, camping, hiking, boat cruising, driving for pleasure, skiing and hunting. www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com /PrinterFriendly.cfm?ArticleId=A0000995   (10832 words)
