The History of “The Drive”
The Drive has come a long way from when it was originally a skid road for dragging logs to the harbour. It was named “Park Drive” but renamed “Commercial Drive” in 1911. At one time, a few speculators wanted to build a neighbourhood similar to the West End and Shaughnessy Heights. The global economic collapse of 1913 ended their dream. During the 1920s, Commercial Drive was a prosperous suburb, but it declined during the Great Depression and never recovered until World War II. The result was several historical buildings and residences were built in the area. Commercial Drive was originally closer to the centre of town—the town was then located at Main and Hastings, not where it is located today. Throughout the 1980s, The Drive attracted a large counter-culture demographic, including political activists, lesbians, hippies, punks, and artists. Gentrification also came to the district with new condominium housing projects and new storefronts replacing old wood-frame stores. Today, the Upper Drive at Broadway has turned into the city’s busiest crossroad with the second SkyTrain or Millennium Line. Today, Commercial Drive is a multicultural and urban area.
