Street history: Originally known as George Street in both Vancouver and South Vancouver. In Vancouver, Plan 616 (1892) showed ​Charlotte Street ​ from East 5th to East 15th Avenues. Possibly named after Charlotte queen consort of King George III. It was renamed George Street in the resurvey of D L 264A, 1905, Plan 1771. Also shown as George on a 1902 map. However, authorities soon realized that a George Street already existed in D L 182; George Street in D L 264A became known as St. George and was so listed in city directories from 1908​ ​onwards.
