VANCOUVER
Clark County Seat • Washington Local
City incorporated on January 23, 1857
The first known European contact with the area indigenous population was made by William Robert Broughton in 1792. The first permanent European settlement did not occur until 1824, when Fort Vancouver was established as a fur trading post of the Hudson’s Bay Company.
By 1848, the area was platted for a city. In 1850, the new location was initially called Columbia City. The name was changed to Vancouver in 1855. The City of Vancouver was named after British sea captain George Vancouver and incorporated on January 23, 1857.
Vancouver is a city on the north bank of the Columbia River in Clark County. Vancouver was originally established in 1825 around Fort Vancouver, a fur-trading outpost. Vancouver is located on the Washington–Oregon border along the Columbia River, directly north of Portland, and is considered a suburb of Portland along with its surrounding areas.
Because many Vancouver residents work in Portland, there is generally a very significant rush-hour traffic congestion on two bridges that cross the Columbia River. Vancouver’s motto is “A colorful past, a bright future”.
The City of Vancouver embraces cultural equality, diversity, inclusion, equity, plus unity, and has many historic business-friendly diverse neighborhoods and communities.
Vancouver is rolling out the “Welcome to Vancouver” and five star “You’re Home Now!” Vancouver mats to new entrepreneurs, students, new startups, business founders, new residents and more value-added local businesses.
In the spirit of early settlers and business leaders, Vancouver’s local entrepreneurs have created local business opportunities for future business leaders in the area. With the help of local resources and leadership, the demand for startup ventures and the need for more goods and services has ignited the spirit of local business ownership in Vancouver’s diverse communities.
