1892:

North Shore Realtor J.C. Keith grants a $40,000 loan to the city of North Vancouver, to build a road from Eagle Harbour to Deep Cove. Unfortunately, the new settlement will experience two serious financial collapses over the next two decades, and this, combined with work difficulties, arduous terrain, and repeated road and bridge washouts will result in Keith Road taking fourteen years to complete.
