George Vancouver
I lived there for 32 years. It was founded in 1825 by the Hudsons Bay Company, a British fur trading firm. I predates the city in Canada with the same name. Vancouver, Washington is across the Columbia River from Portland, Oregon.
The U.S. settlement of Oregon negatively impacted U.S. - British relations, because the United Kingdom had made prior claims to the Oregon Country, which they referred to as the Columbia District. George Vancouver had explored the area in 1792 and claimed the area for Britain, whereas the U.S. began exploring the region with the Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1805-1806.
Since the United States and Mexico were at war at the time, James Polk accepted Vancouver's proposal. The border between the United States and Canada was the 49th parallel to the continental divide. That was extended to the pacific, except that Canada would get all of Vancouver Island.

George Vancouver
George Vancouver was explored and charted the Pacific coast of North America, including that of Oregon. In addition to Vancouver, B.C. and Vancouver Island, there is a smaller city named after him in southern Washington State, directly across the Columbia river from Portland, Oregon.
It is 360 miles from Vancouver BC to Salem Oregon.
The driving distance from Vancouver, Canada to Medford, Oregon is about 585 miles.
Hopefully OREGON CITY!
A flight from Vancouver to Portland would take about 1 hour.
There is no time difference between Vancouver and oregon. That means these two cities are located in the same time zone.
Captain George Vancouver RN (June 22, 1757 - May 10, 1798) was an officer in the British Royal Navy, best known for his exploration of the North-West Coast of North America, including the shores of the modern day Alaska, British Columbia, Washington and Oregon.
