History

According to one account, in 1846 an employee of the Hudson’s Bay Company named Dugald McTavish surveyed land near the fur trading post Fort Vancouver. McTavish described four plains in the area of thick woods. Officials at the trading post numbered the plains, and so the area was originally known as Fourth Plain. Wanting a more unique name, residents voted in 1904 to change the name to Orchards, after the many fruit trees in the area.
