Vancouver (Washington): Verskil tussen weergawes

Vancouver deel sy naam met die groter stad van [[Vancouver]] wat 491 km noord in die Kanadese provinsie van [[Brits-Columbië|British Columbia]] geleë is. Beide stede is na die see-kaptein George Vancouver genoem, alhoewel die Kanadese stad 29 jaar na Vancouver, Washington ingelyf is, en 60 jaar nadat die naam Vancouver vir die eerste keer gebruik is as verwysing na die historiese Fort Vancouver Trading Post op die Columbia-rivier. Stadsamptenare het van tyd tot tyd voorgestel dat die Amerikaanse stad se naam verander na Fort Vancouver, Vancouver VSA, of selfs Ou Vancouver, om verwarring met sy noordelike buurman te verminder. Baie inwoners onderskei tussen die twee stede deur te verwys na die Kanadese stad as "Vancouver, BC" en na Vancouver in die VSA as "Vancouver, Washington" of "Vancouver VSA." Plaaslike byname sluit in: "Vantucky" (hoewel die bynaam dikwels gebruik word as 'n neerhalende term) <ref>{{cite news| url= http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-03-29/fisher-lured-to-washington-woods-offering-tax-haven#p1|title=Fisher Lured to Washington Woods Offering Tax Haven|last=Robison|first=Peter|date=29 March 2012|work=[[Bloomberg Businessweek]]|accessdate=29 March 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|archivedate=2009-06-01 | archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20090601093700/http://www.vanvoice.com/article/19677-vantucky-meets-tin-pan-alley |title=Vantucky meets Tin Pan Alley |publisher=vanvoice.com |date=June 1, 2009 |accessdate=2012-05-10|url=http://www.vanvoice.com/article/19677-vantucky-meets-tin-pan-alley }}</ref><ref>http://vanvoice.com/article?articleTitle=you+know+your+from+vantucky+if...--1287789309--453--</ref><ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.oregonlive.com/clark-county/index.ssf/2011/05/cafe_offers_vantucky_strikes_back_t-shirts_humor_along_with_coffee.html| title=Cafe offers 'Vantucky Strikes Back' T-shirts, humor along with coffee|date=17 May 2011|work=[[The Oregonian]]|accessdate=5 June 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite news| url= http://clarkcountyblog.com/vancouver-coffee-shop-strikes-back-and-abides-withlatest-couve-tshirt-promotion/|title=Vancouver coffee shop Strikes Back and Abides with latest Couve T-shirt promotion|date=16 May 2011|work=The Oregonian News Network|publisher=[[The Oregonian]]|accessdate=5 June 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.stumpedinstumptown.com/2011/03/portlands-wacky-and-wonderful-neighboring-cities/|title= Portland's wacky and wonderful neighboring cities.|date=29 March 2011|work=Stumped in Stumptown|accessdate=5 June 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.columbian.com/news/2011/jun/05/maneuver-by-council-makes-county-look-like-podunkv/|title=Maneuver by council makes county look like Podunkville (commentary)| last=Jayne| first=Greg|date=5 June 2011|work=[[The Columbian]]|accessdate=5 June 2011|quote=Because part of the impact of bringing professional baseball to town would be in helping Vancouver to shed its image as Podunkville.
