Vancouver: Washington's Oldest City on the Columbia River
Vancouver sits on the north bank of the Columbia River directly across from Portland, Oregon. Despite sharing a name with the better-known Canadian city, Vancouver, Washington predates it by several decades and was established in 1825 as a Hudson's Bay Company fur-trading post. The city's population is approximately 190,000, making it the fourth-largest in Washington and the seat of Clark County.
Fort Vancouver National Historic Site preserves the reconstructed fur-trade fort and adjacent Pearson Field, one of the oldest continuously operating airports in the United States. The Vancouver Barracks served as the oldest U.S. Army post in the Pacific Northwest. General Ulysses S. Grant and George C. Marshall both served there earlier in their careers.
The economic relationship with Portland shapes daily life. Washington has no state income tax, while Oregon has no sales tax, so residents of the metro area routinely cross the I-5 and I-205 bridges to shop, work, or both. The Columbia River Crossing debate over replacing the aging Interstate Bridge has occupied regional planning for more than two decades.
