Which country does Vancouver belong to?

Vancouver belongs to Canada and is a coastal city in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, Canada.

Vancouver is named after the British navigator George Vancouver. After the Europeans arrived in the Vancouver area, the early economy of the region mainly relied on the forestry industry.

After the Canadian Pacific Railway was extended to Vancouver in 1887, Vancouver became one of the main hubs for water and land transportation on the west coast of North America. It also formed an important link in the trade between the Far East, eastern Canada and the United Kingdom.

The Port of Vancouver is currently Canada's largest and busiest port and the fourth largest port in North America in terms of total cargo tonnage. Extended information
