The History and Heritage of Point Grey
Long before Point Grey became its own municipality in 1908, the lands where it sits where inhabited by the local Musqueam people who called their ancient village Ee’yullmough.
In the late 1700’s Captain George Vancouver gave Point Grey its name in honour of his friend, Captain George Grey. It wasn’t until 1929 that Municipality of Point Grey merged with and officially became part of the City of Vancouver. Point Grey retains it rich history in many of the historic homes that still stand since its inception, most notably two tudor revival mansions designed by renowned architect Samuel Maclure dating back to 1913: Rear House, which is now the Aberthau Cultural Centre and Brock House on Jericho Beach that now serves as a restaurant and a senior’s activity centre.
