EDITOR REVIEW: VIEW ROYAL. This early farming community was organized by a subsidiary of the Hudson's Bay Company to transform the area into a permanent settlement and to reduce the need for imports from abroad. Established in 1853 along the Victoria Gorge Waterway on the lands of the Kosapsom Nation, ancient artifacts have been found dating back 2500 years. The Georgian manor house was built in 1856 and is decorated to teach about the life of its residents circa 1860. The adjacent school is the oldest standing school building in western Canada. Youngsters enjoy the reenactments of the educational process during the Victorian age.
