Colony of British Columbia (1858–66)
The
Colony of British Columbia
was a
crown colony
in
British North America
from 1858 until 1866. At its creation, it physically constituted approximately half the present day Canadian
province
of
British Columbia
, since it did not include the
Colony of Vancouver Island
, the vast and still largely uninhabited regions north of the
Nass
and
Finlay Rivers
, the regions east of the
Rocky Mountains
, or any of the coastal islands. The
Colony of the Queen Charlotte Islands
and the
Stikine Territory
were merged with it in 1863, and it was amalgamated in 1866 with the Colony of Vancouver Island to form a new
Colony of British Columbia
.
