Description : Whistler,s European history stretches back to the 1860,s when when British Naval Officers surveyed the area and gave Whistler Mountain the original name of London Mountain.

In the early 1900,s, the only residents in the valley were a few trappers and prospectors like John Millar and Harry Horstman who had settled in the Whistler area via the Pemberton Trail, the only direct route from the coast to the Pemberton Valley. The trail was completed in 1877 and was to be a cattle-driving route, however it was only used once for cattle, as most were lost to starvation and accidents on the inhospitable terrain.
