Did you ever stop to think about the origin of the name Dollarton that is so pervasive along the southern shores of the Burrard Inlet before it becomes the Indian Arm? There is the Dollarton Highway that extends the entire length of the road from the 2nd Narrows Bridge almost to Deep Cove. And there is Dollar Road, Dollarton Village and Dollarton Plaza too. Its naming has nothing to do with the currency and everything to do with the Scottish-born Robert Dollar, who left his birth country at the age of 14 for the promise of a better life on the other side of the Atlantic and actually found it! But we’re getting ahead of ourselves!
