The employee Village was one of the most important and lively parts of the Hudson's Bay Company's Fort Vancouver. It was the home of the fort's working class, including bachelors and multicultural families living in one- or two-room cabins. In addition to a neighborhood of homes, the Village was also the location of industrial activities like salmon processing, and a hospital that served this population during epidemics of malaria and other contagious diseases.
