But in 1824, the first European settlement happened when Fort Vancouver was established as a fur trading post of the Hudson's Bay Company. Amos Short traced over the claim of Williamson and named the town Columbia City in 1850. Then five years later, it changed to Vancouver. After that, the City of Vancouver was incorporated on January 23, 1857.

Jan 03, 2019 The Vancouver, Wash., City Council voted unanimously last month to implement a six-month moratorium on self-storage development. The temporary ban extends to project applications and facility expansions in all commercial and industrial zones where self-storage is a permitted use. It doesn’t prohibit maintenance work, repairs, or health and safety improvements that may be mandated by the city, according to the source. The freeze will give city staff time to devise self-storage regulations that’ll be applied to the city’s Commercial Corridor Strategy, a group of new land-use codes officials intend to create this year.
