家园 Why British Columbia?

省府網站的解釋是這樣:

Origin of British Columbia's Name

Much of the mainland region was originally known as New Caledonia; however, this name (duplicated in South Pacific) was discarded in favour of British Columbia. The designation appears to have originated with Queen Victoria and was officially proclaimed in 1858. Columbia (after the Columbia River which was named by the American Captain Robert Gray for his ship Columbia ) had previously been loosely applied to the southern portion of the colony.

中國人都是比較好歡群居的。好像列市是廣東幫,尤其是從香港來的。

素里早年應是從台灣來的聚居地。

現在這個界限好像沒有以前那麼分明了。
