Vancouver was founded many years after George Vancouver died. Captain George Vancouver discovered Vancouver Island unexpectedly. Some of the land making up the island had previously been discovered by Captain James Cook, who believed that it was still part of the mainland. Captain Vancouver was exploring the mouth of what is now called the Juan Da Fuca straights. He believed that it was mearly an inlet and sailed into the mouth, down the Juan Da Fuca Straights, around the southern tip of the island, up the Georgia Straights, following the coast line of the island, and back into the open pacific ocean. He unexpectedly sailed all the way around the island thus proving that it was in fact an island and not part of the mainland. sorry i didn't tell you when.
Yes, Vancouver was named after George Vancouver, a British naval officer who explored the Pacific Northwest in the late 18th century. The city was named in his honor by Captain George Henry Richards, who surveyed the area in the 1850s.
