15 Fort Victoria became the capital of the Crown Colony of Vancouver Island in 1849
16 Royal Grant Of 1849 The Hudson s Bay Company was given total control of Vancouver Island for seven shillings a year for the advancement of colonization and encouragement of trade and commerce. The company was entrusted with the responsibility to establish a settlement of British colonists on the island by The grant could be revoked at the end of five years if this condition had not been satisfactorily fulfilled.
17 1849 Colonization Of Vancouver s Island Prospectus Land would cost one pound an acre. No land sale would be for less than twenty acres. Colonists must pay their own way out to the island from Britain. Purchasers of one hundred acres of more must take out with them five single men, or three married couples, for every hundred acres. In December 1849, Douglas was authorized to extinguish on behalf of the Crown the proprietary rights of aboriginal people of the island.
18 The colonization plan was based upon the ideas of the social theorist Edward Gibbon Wakefield ( )
19 Systemic Flaws In The Wakefield Model As Applied To Vancouver Island The Londoners ignored the reality of economic conditions on the west coast of North America. They were unaware of the colony s limited agricultural potential and of the scarcity of European labor there. They systematically downplayed the extent to which much of Vancouver Island was already settled by First Nations. They showed an ignorance of Oregon s generous land laws which caused such a drain on colonial immigration. Gentlemen of substance seemed to have little interest in traveling to a remote corner of North America to clear farms amid the dense forests.
