Victoria, British Columbia, was referred to as "Stumptown" due to the numerous tree stumps left behind after logging operations in the area during the late 19th century. As the town developed rapidly, the clearing of land for buildings and infrastructure resulted in many stumps being left in the ground, creating a rugged landscape. This nickname highlights the town's early history as a logging hub and the challenges of urbanization in a heavily forested region.
