Strathcona, Vancouver, Historic residential district in East Vancouver, Canada.
Strathcona features Victorian and Edwardian houses with colorful facades, tree-lined streets, and multiple small parks across its 3.88 square kilometers.
The neighborhood, originally called East End, emerged around Hastings Mill from 1886 to 1920 as Vancouver's first residential area near the railway terminus.
Lord Strathcona Elementary School, established in 1891, continues to serve the multicultural community as Vancouver's longest-operating educational institution.
The district borders extend from Main Street to Clark Drive and from the waterfront to Great Northern Way, with regular community meetings at Strathcona Community Centre.
The Militant Mothers of Raymur successfully campaigned in the 1970s for pedestrian overpasses across railway tracks to ensure children's safe passage to school.
