Vancouver is located on the traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. During the gold rush of the late 1850s and the 1860s, non-Indigenous settlers began to arrive in numbers. Following the Canadian Pacific Railway’s decision to extend its line from Port Moody, the government granted the railway more than 25 square kilometres of land for a new terminus. Vancouver was incorporated in 1886.

Vancouver neighbourhood, Powell Street (Paueru-gai), became Canada’s largest Japanese immigrant neighbourhood. The first Japanese Consulate opened in Vancouver in 1889. In 1906, the Vancouver Kyoritsu Nippon Kokumin Gakko (now Vancouver Japanese Language School and Japanese Hall) opened at 439 Alexander Street. In 1907, an anti-Asian riot swept through Chinatown and Powell Street, causing extensive damage to local businesses. Asian workers in Vancouver subsequently enacted a general strike. By 1921, Powell Street maintained 578 Japanese Canadian businesses and organizations. Community institutions included the Vancouver Buddhist Temple, martial arts clubs, and the Vancouver Asahi baseball team, founded in 1914. Although many residents moved to neighbourhoods such as Marpole, Kitsilano, and Kerrisdale during the 1930s, Japanese Canadians remained the principal property owners on Powell Street until 1942.

In 1920, the Japanese Canadian War Memorial was unveiled in Stanley Park, commemorating Japanese Canadian service in the First World War.
