Two cities on the west coast of North America are named Vancouver. One is in the State of Washington and one is in the Province of British Columbia. Both were named after Captain George Vancouver of the Royal Navy, who explored and charted much of North America's west coast. Vancouver Island is also named after Captain George Vancouver.

Vancouver, British Columbia, is the largest city in British Columbia, but it is not the capital. British Columbia's capital is Victoria, which was named after Queen Victoria. Victoria is located on Vancouver Island.
