Lower Mainland, Metropolitan region in southwestern British Columbia, Canada
The Lower Mainland encompasses Vancouver and surrounding municipalities, stretching along the Fraser River basin between the Pacific Ocean and Coast Mountains.
Indigenous peoples inhabited this territory for thousands of years before European settlement began expanding rapidly following the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush in 1858.
The region contains sixteen of British Columbia's thirty most populated municipalities, forming a multicultural hub with diverse communities and numerous festivals.
The transportation network includes extensive public transit systems, major highways, and the Vancouver International Airport serving over 2.5 million residents.
The area experiences a rare oceanic climate within Canada, with mild winters allowing palm trees to grow naturally in several locations.
