Recognized as a national historic site, Gastown owes its founding to a steamboat captain and barkeep named “Gassy” Jack, who opened the area’s first saloon in the 1860s. Following in Gassy Jack’s footsteps, this desirable neighborhood in the northeast corner of Downtown is home to many bars, restaurants, and nightclubs, as well as the hip boutiques of Vancouver’s fashion scene. A coveted place to live for young professionals and artists, there are many lofts and condos in Vancouver's Gastown with more developments expected for the future.
