MARPOLE

Marpole is a vibrant and growing neighbourhood in the southern area of Vancouver bordered by Park Drive to the north, Granville Street to the west, Main Street to the east and the Fraser River to the south. This area is actually one of Vancouver’s oldest settlements. It was first settled in the 1860s and was originally called “Eburne Station” after its first storekeeper/postmaster. It was an enclave separated from the main city by forest. With the construction of the Lulu railway and the BC Electric interurban train, the area became accessible and began to thrive as an industrial area.
