Victory Square was at one time the grounds of the city's provincial courthouse, which was torn down in 1911-13. The location had significance when it was chosen, as it stands at the intersection of the old Granville townsite (aka Gastown) and the CPR townsite, which was the downtown-designated land grant obtained by the CPR as part of the deal to locate the terminus and thereby found the city. The Victory Square Cenotaph is located in this park (see memorial 59026-002).
