History
 
The Kitsilano neighbourhood began to take shape in 1932, when the Burrard Bridge was erected. Previously a predominantly family area, many single-family homes were built during World War II which were knocked down in later years and turned into apartments and condos to account for an increase in the neighbourhood’s population. Due to Kitsilano’s beautiful beaches, the area was also used by some of Vancouver’s first settlers, who came there to unwind in the sun. They then pitched their tents on an area then known as Greer’s Beach, which lies next to the First Nations Reserve, Khatsahlano.
