Gastown is a well-known Vancouver historic site named after its founding father “Gassy Jack” (John Deighton) who arrived on Vancouver’s shores in 1867. Gassy set up a “saloon” armed with a keg of whisky and a talent for storytelling. It wasn’t long though before a thriving commercial hub was established. This is the location where Vancouver began. Today’s Gastown is a diverse, urban community of historical interest and unique characteristics.
