Millar addition panorama
"The boundaries encompassing Prince George were expanded many times over the years. One of the most dramatic extensions occurred in 1914, the year before incorporation, when the beautiful Millar Addition was created. The two hundred acre property taken in was bounded by the Fraser River to the east, Connaught Hill park to the west, and stretched south from Patricia Avenue. At the time, this expansion represented a quarter of the total townsite area.
The subdivision took the name “Millar Addition” from the beginning in recognition of the developer, Toronto-based lawyer Charles Vance Millar. Known in this province for his involvement in the transportation business, Millar was President of the British Columbia Express Company (The B.X.) which operated a passenger and freighting service between Prince George and Ashcroft and the B.X. steamboat on the Fraser."
