Description
Sidney on the Saanich Peninsula on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. The Saanich people have lived on the peninsula for thousands of years, and had winter villages throughout the region. In 1852, the Hudson's Bay Company obtained two large tracts of forested land from the Saanich People. The area became known as North and South Saanich Districts. The first white settlers made residence in 1857. In 1891, fifty acres of land owned by the Brethour family was subdivided in lots and registered as the Township of Sidney. By the close of 1892, there was a general store, a post office, a boat building shop, and a hotel. The name 'Sidney' apparently came about when Julius Brethour was asked the question concerning a name for the site. Brethour, looking across the water and saw Sidney Island directly opposite said 'It will be called Sidney'.
