South Vancouver Community

South Vancouver is a federal electoral district in British Columbia, Canada, that has been represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1917 to 1997, and since 2004. It covers the southern portion of the city of Vancouver, British Columbia.

South Vancouver sub area is a strong Indo-Canadian community. From its Ross Street Temple to the Punjabi Market at Main & 49th, this formerly blue collar area is transitioning to a younger professional area for those not quite ready for the heady Westside prices.

With all the attractions of East Vancouver, South Van is marked by diverse culture and activities.  The South Vancouver Neighbourhood House provides numerous community services in a variety of languages.  Its lively community is an enticing reason to make a South Vancouver house your home.

South Vancouver History

Historically, Mount Pleasant was known for its ideal location due to the closeness of the community to Vancouver’s business district and its vast availability to good water supply.
H.V. Edmonds, a clerk on the New Westminster council as well as the original owner of most of Mount Pleasant, named Mount Pleasant after the Irish birthplace of his wife.

In 1904, Mount Pleasant was home to two slaughterhouses, four breweries and a train station and by 1912, it's residential population had grown so rapidly that construction of schools, hospitals, fire halls and community centres increased rapidly to meet the demand.

Throughout the 1950’s and 1960’s many of the historical houses were moved out of the community to accomodate for more businesses, low-rise offices and warehouses.

Today, most of the original homes that were left in the community have been beautifully renovated and restored.
