Whistler Vancouver History:

Whistler's European history stretches back to the 1860's when British Naval Officers surveyed the area and gave Whistler Mountain the original name of London Mountain.
Whistler's people history owes much to the fearless and pioneering spirit of Myrtle Philip. Her devotion to the resort and the community inspired visitors year after year. Whistler Vancouver.

The Coast Salish (Aboriginal peoples) inhabited much of the land around Whistler for many thousands of years. Their influence on the area is celebrated annually during Weetama: Whistler's Celebration of Aboriginal Culture every August. Whistler Vancouver.
