Vancouver

Vancouver, WA, was first settled in 1825 and is one of the oldest cities in the Pacific Northwest. It was officially incorporated on January 23, 1857. The city is named after the British explorer George Vancouver, who mapped the area in the late 1700s. Vancouver serves as the commercial and cultural heart of Clark County, offering a diverse mix of shops, services, and dining options, particularly in areas like Downtown Vancouver and The Waterfront. With easy access to Portland, Oregon, and a rich history as the location of Fort Vancouver, the city's namesake, Vancouver benefits from a vibrant community, scenic parks, and a strategic position along the Columbia River, making it an ideal place to live, work, and explore.
