Gastown - besides being known for its shopping Gastown is where
Vancouver was founded in 1867. Gastown was originally called Gassy's,
named after a saloon owner Gassy Jack Deighton. The town site was
nicknamed Gastown or Gassy's Town, never just Gassy's. Most of Gastown
was going to be torn down in the early 1970's but citizens rallied their
support and saved the area and now it is designated a heritage area.
Cordova street in Gastown has small shops.
There are also many antique
shops in Gastown. Native American galleries exhibit many fine Native
American art work. As you first walk into Gastown you will see a statue
of Gassy Jack and near him you will also see a distinct triangular shaped
building on the corner. This building is called the Europe Hotel.
