The Songhees first nation were the original inhabitants of Victoria. In 1778 Captain James Cook was the first European to arrive. 1843 Sir James Douglas established Fort Victoria as a Hudson's Bay Company trading post named after Queen Victoria. When the Cariboo gold rush began in 1858, Victoria being the only port of entry on the west coast, turned this small outpost into a bustling city.
