 Governor of Vancouver Island and Chief Factor of the Hudson’s Bay Company.

 He felt it threatened British sovereignty.

On Nov. 19, 1858 the colony of British Columbia was proclaimed.

 Derby lots would start that day.

all of the lots were sold and Kanaka and First Nations people were displace.

Before the 19th century, a small subsidiary structure in which milk

and other dairy products were stored at a lowered temperature

 with cooling usually provided by slowly running cold spring

water or the runoff from an icehouse;

typically had overhanging eaves to shade it,

 and double walls and ceiling filled

with a thermal insulator, such as sawdust;

commonly had a concrete floor to promote cleanliness

and louvers for ventilation; was separated from the barn

for reasons of sanitation.

This term replaced by the word dairy in the 1800s;

 health regulations have now made such structures obsolete.

Douglas offered them lots in New Westminster in exchange.

 Soon after, Derby Townsite and its plans were abandoned.
