Marpole is a vibrant and continuously growing neighbourhood featuring a lot of places to visit, great views and many green areas for recreational activities. It is bordered by the Park Drive to the north side, Granville Street on the west side, Main Street on the east and Fraser River to the south. Marpole is one of the oldest settlements in Vancouver, being first settled in 1860, known as “Eburne Station”. At first it was separated from the main city by forest, but as the transportation and construction industries progressed, it was added as a main part of Vancouver city. Lulu railway and the BC Electric interurban train made the connection to Marpole possible and it started to become an industrial area.
In 1929, Marpole began to thrive as a main industrial hub for Vancouver and it was introduced as one of its neighbourhoods. The Granville Street became a vibrant business community since it was the closest to Marpole and it was home to many industrial workers and their families. When the Oak Street Bridge was built, a lot of the small businesses were drawn away from Marpole. The 70th Avenue homes started to be replaced by low rise walk-ups in 1960. The Artur Laing Bridge was built in 1975, opening a new gate from Marpole to the airport, which drew traffic and businesses back to the Granville Street.
