The provincial capitol at the end of Vancouver Island is the capitol building for the Parliament of British Columbia. It is located in the city of Victoria, which is the capitol city of British Columbia. The capitol used to be located on the mainland of British Columbia, but was moved to Victoria while Canada and the United States were negotiating their border. The border was decided to be located along the 49th parallel; however, Victoria was below the 49th parallel and would become United States territory. Thus, the capitol was moved to Victoria to prevent the United States from taking Victoria and any of the other cities of Vancouver Island that fell below the 49th parallel.
