Musqueam gives its name in its own language as xʷməθkʷəy̓əm. On its story page it says the name relates to the flowering plant məθkʷəy̓, which once grew throughout its territory, and means the place where that plant grows. It describes its people as traditional hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓-speaking people. Its territory page says its ancestors lived throughout and looked after the Fraser River estuary for thousands of years, and it lists the UBC Endowment Lands among the places that today bear other names within that territory.

Musqueam says many of its members live on a small part of that territory, the Musqueam Indian Reserve, south of Marine Drive near the mouth of the Fraser River. The Electoral Boundaries Commission calls the reserve Musqueam 2. The City of Vancouver says archaeological evidence shows people living in the Southlands area as early as 400 B.C., in at least three locations: the Angus Lands, Celtic Island and the Musqueam Reserve area. It says the reserve was formally dedicated in 1879. On 10 June 1976 Musqueam's elected leaders and members signed the Musqueam Declaration, which says Musqueam people hold Aboriginal title to the land and Aboriginal rights within the territory it describes.

The Supreme Court of Canada records that the Shaughnessy Heights Golf Club was looking for a new site in the 1950s, because its lease from the Canadian Pacific Railway was due to end in 1960 and would not be renewed. The club turned to the Musqueam reserve, which the Court says held 416.53 acres inside the City of Vancouver. The trial judge found that the club's proposal reached the Band Council only in general terms, at its meeting of 7 April 1957. The Indian Affairs Branch of the federal government then signed a lease of 162 acres for the Band on 22 January 1958. The Court found its terms much less favourable than those the Band had approved. Musqueam's own page dates the lease to 1957 and says it ran for 75 years.

Musqueam says that Chief Delbert Guerin first saw the signed lease in 1970 and that the case was filed in 1975. The trial judge awarded the Band $10 million in damages, and the Federal Court of Appeal reversed that judgment. On 1 November 1984 the Supreme Court of Canada allowed the Band's appeal in Guerin v. The Queen. The Court held that the Crown, meaning the federal government, owes an obligation that courts can enforce to deal with reserve land for the benefit of the band. Musqueam marks 1 November each year as Musqueam Day, and its administration closes that day.

The City of Vancouver says the first settlers in Kerrisdale were the Irish McCleery brothers, who came in 1867 to farm the meadows where McCleery Golf Course now lies. It says the Canadian Pacific Railway built a line from Vancouver to Lulu Island because the Steveston fish canneries needed workers, and that the train, called the Sockeye Special, ran through Kerrisdale. A City report to Council says the line was completed in 1902 and that from 1905 to the early 1950s the Lulu Island Interurban Line carried passengers along the route now called the Arbutus Corridor. The City says Kerrisdale got its name in 1905, when the B.C. Electric Railway took over the line and an early resident, Mrs. MacKinnon, named the stop at Wilson Road, now 41st Avenue, after her old family home in Kerrydale, Scotland.

The City of Vancouver Archives records that the Corporation of Point Grey was established on 1 January 1908 under letters patent of 18 December 1907, and that the land had belonged to the District of South Vancouver since 1892. The City says Kerrisdale became the political centre of the new municipality, and that Kerrisdale Centennial Park is the site of the first municipal hall, which held a council chamber, offices, a police court and a two-cell jail. A two-room Kerrisdale School opened in 1908. The City says streetcars reached 41st Avenue in 1912. Point Grey joined the City of Vancouver on 1 January 1929.

The City of Vancouver says the provincial government gave the Canadian Pacific Railway 6,000 acres in 1885, and that the company chose Shaughnessy Heights as the site of its best residential subdivision. In 1907 Richard Marpole, an officer of the railway, proposed an area that would draw wealthy families from the West End. The railway hired the landscape architect Frederick Todd and the engineer L.E. Davick to lay out curving streets and large lots. It required every house to cost at least $6,000, when a standard bungalow cost $1,000. The City's heritage statement for the area adds that the restrictions admitted only "racially appropriate" homeowners.

In 1914 the railway tried to make Shaughnessy a municipality separate from Point Grey. The province refused and passed the Shaughnessy Settlement Act of 1914, which limited the area to single-family houses. The Shaughnessy Heights Building Restriction Act of 1922 banned the division of lots. The Building Restriction Act expired in 1970, and Council passed a plan for First Shaughnessy in 1982. On 29 September 2015 Council enacted By-law No. 11349, which designated First Shaughnessy a heritage conservation area, a place where the City protects older buildings. The City says the area runs from W 16th Avenue to W King Edward Avenue, between Arbutus Street and the west lane of Oak Street.

The City of Vancouver says Arbutus Ridge was once uplands around a low marsh called Asthma Flats, and that in 1888 the Province gave 2,100 hectares in the area to the Canadian Pacific Railway. It was part of South Vancouver until 1908, then Point Grey, then Vancouver in 1929. The upland part, called Mackenzie Heights, filled with houses between 1912 and the 1930s. The City says sand brought from False Creek in the 1940s and 1950s filled the low ground for houses, schools and shops. It says the interurban railway was replaced by trolley buses in July 1952.

The Quilchena Golf and Country Club says that the word Quilchena was chosen as its name on 4 August 1925. A committee led by Dr. G.F. Strong leased railway land between King Edward and 33rd Avenue for a nine-hole course. In late 1951 the railway announced plans to subdivide the land, and the club says its leases would not be renewed after 31 December 1953. It says it moved to Richmond and had a new course ready by the summer of 1957. In March 2016 the City bought the Arbutus Corridor, a 9-kilometre former rail line, from the railway. The City's 2018 report on the Arbutus Greenway says the province granted that land to the railway in 1886.

The City of Vancouver says that in 1908 the land around Dunbar, then owned by the railway and the province, was unsuitable for building because it had been logged and left covered with fallen, burnt timber. The first non-Indigenous settlers there, the Mounts, bought a lot in 1912. The streetcar reached Clare Road, now Dunbar Street, in 1913, and by 1927 the area had three streetcar routes. Lord Kitchener School opened at Blenheim Street and King Edward Avenue in 1914. The Vancouver School Board says a seismically upgraded school that includes the original 1914 frame building opened in October 2012.

In Kerrisdale, Maple Grove Elementary's history says the Point Grey School Board gave a contract in May 1912 for an eight-room school at Magee Road and Cypress Street. It says a school opened there in 1914 and a new school with 13 divisions opened in January 1925. The City says Vancouver's first rock and roll concert took place in the Kerrisdale Arena in 1956, when Bill Haley and the Comets played.

The Southlands Plan, approved by City Council on 8 March 1988, describes Southlands as the area along the Fraser River between Marpole and the UBC Endowment Lands, south of SW Marine Drive. It says most of the area is low flat land inside the river's floodplain, and that the flood risk and the cost of servicing the land are the main reasons it stayed a low-density area of golf courses, horse properties and nurseries. Before 1955 most of it was zoned for single-family houses. In 1955 the flat land was rezoned RA-1, a limited agricultural zone with a minimum lot of 2 1/4 acres.

The plan says that in 1981 investors who had assembled 33 acres at the Angus Lands applied to build 350 townhouses and apartments, that Council refused a second application for up to 60 houses in May 1984, and that in November 1984 Council funded a planning programme for all of Southlands. Southlands Riding Club says it was incorporated in 1943 with 40 members, that seven anonymous members bought sixteen acres for it in 1946, and that in 1986 the City stated that riding is a recognized recreation in Vancouver.

Musqueam says that in November 2018 it received funding approval from the BC Housing Indigenous Housing Fund for a multi-family housing project on the main Musqueam Reserve (IR #2), for Musqueam members and their families. The Musqueam Community Rental Complex will stand at Lot 95, Crown Place, and will include a childcare centre and a playground. The Musqueam Village (IR2) Plan, which Musqueam describes as an extension of its Comprehensive Community Plan, will guide future development and protection of the reserve. Musqueam's story page says its community has more than 1,300 members.

On 18 November 2022 David Eby was sworn in as British Columbia's 37th premier at the Musqueam Community Centre. The Province's release says the Musqueam Indian Band hosted the ceremony, the first swearing in hosted by a First Nation in British Columbia. Southlands Elementary says it is the school for students from Musqueam. Elections BC's 2024 results file places both the Musqueam Community Centre and Southlands Elementary among the voting places inside Vancouver-Quilchena.
