West Coast Gazetteer &
Directory ~ Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
Victoria District,
the capital and metropolis of British Columbia, is
situated at the southeastern extremity of Vancouver
Island, 65 miles in an easterly direction from the
Pacific Ocean, in latitude 48° 25' 20", longitude 123°
22' 24".
The
town occupies a pleasant site on nearly level or easy
rolling ground, with an occasional eminence, affording a
tine view of the surrounding country. It has a
land-locked harbor nearly circular in form, which can
only be entered by vessels of light draft; but ships of
the largest class can find safe anchorage at Esquimault,
three miles' distant. From an obscure trading post,
established by the Hudson Bay Company in 1837, Victoria
has rapidly risen to her present important commercial
position, her growth being considerably accelerated by
the discovery of the gold fields of Fraser River and
Caribou.
The
varied resources of this section, including excellent
farming, grazing, and timber lands, extensive coal beds
and salmon fisheries, assure the continued growth and
prosperity of the place. The city is well laid out with
wide streets crossing each other at right angles, and
contains many substantial brick and stone stores, and
several handsome public buildings, including the Post
office, Custom House and City Hall. Among the
manufacturing establishments in successful operation are
three iron foundries and machine shops, a stove foundry,
boiler works, sash and door factory, furniture factory,
a steam saw-mill, two boot and shoe factories; also four
ship yards, which in the aggregate give employment to a
large number of men.
An
excellent public school is maintained, having an average
attendance of about four hundred and fifty scholars, the
number enrolled being about eight hundred. The building,
a handsome brick edifice, three stories high, with a
mansard roof and cupola, was erected at a cost of
$35,000. In addition to this institution there are a
number of seminaries and private schools of a high
character. The city is well supplied with churches, a
number of which are large and handsome edifices. The
denominations represented are the Episcopal,
Presbyterian, Reformed Episcopal, Baptist, Methodist,
Hebrew, and Roman Catholic.
Among
the secret and benevolent organizations are lodges of
Masons, Odd Fellows, Ancient Order of Foresters, Ancient
Order United Workmen, and the British Columbia
Benevolent, St. Andrews, and Caledonian Societies. The
Mechanics' Literary Institute, which is in flourishing
condition, have commodious reading rooms well supplied
with papers, and a library of 4,500 volumes. Another
library maintained by the Odd Fellows contains 1,500
volumes. The Protestant Orphans' Home, a worthy
institution, sustained by contributions, provides for
the care and education of the fatherless and motherless.
In addition to the societies already enumerated there is
a Board of Trade and the British Columbia Trades
Protection Society, The Dominion Government Telegraph
and Victoria and Esquimault Telephone Co, afford the
inhabitants facilities for rapid communication with
various points.
An
abundant supply of good water is brought from a lake
seven miles distant. The water works, as well as the gas
works, are under the control of the city authorities,
and both water and gas are furnished to the inhabitants
at actual cost. For protection against the ravages of
the fire fiend is a volunteer fire department and
telephone fire alarm. The apparatus consists of two
steam engines drawn by horses, two hand engines, and a
hook and ladder truck. Two ably conducted and
enterprising journals. The British Colonist and Victoria
Standard are published daily and weekly. The climate of
this section is mild and exceedingly healthful. The
maximum temperature during the summer months is from 80°
to 90°. In the winter ice forms at times of sufficient
thickness for skating purposes and snow falls to the
depth of a few inches. Rains are frequent during the
fall, winter and summer months.
Communication is maintained by steamer with New
Westminster and Nanaimo bi-weekly; with Port Townsend
tri-weekly; with San Francisco tri-monthly, and with
ports in Alaska monthly.
