History of Horseshoe Bay
 

1912
West Vancouver becomes a separate District Municipality. The split between North and West Vancouver was amicable - even as terms were discussed the North Shore Council approved a by-law for $100,000 to improve Keith Road and to build Marine Drive. Charles Nelson was elected first Reeve (mayor) and the first Municipal Hall was built at accost of $3500.

 

1918
The Council decided to obtain foreshore rights in Horseshoe Bay, Copper Cove and Fisherman's Cove. The Council now wanted to control all the foreshores and faced the problem of expropriating established housing.
