"Through him the whole structure is held
together and grows into a temple sacred in the Lord." (Ephesians 2:21)
White settlers were drawn to this area by the 1858 Cariboo Gold Rush. The
West End was an out-of-the-way place and of little value compared with the
Fraser Valley. It was not until 1862 that three young Englishmen, John
Morton, William Hailstone and Samuel Brighouse decided to buy a piece of
land in the area. For that action they were dubbed the "Three Greenhorns".
The Greenhorns' land, now known as the West End, was officially called that
in 1887 when the Vancouver School Board built and named the West End school
With the Canadian Pacific Railway Company's plans for a terminus beside the
Greenhorns' acreage, the settlement of Georgia and Robson Streets and the
establishment of Stanley Park, the West End's southern boundary became known
and populated as a relaxing beach resort.
