The Dunbar area was originally part of the now defunct, Municipality of Point Grey. The first major land development took place in the mid-1920s and by 1927 the area was served by three streetcar routes. Dunbar became a part of Vancouver in 1929 when the Municipality of Point Grey merged with the City of Vancouver.
Dunbar–Southlands is bordered on the north by West 16th Avenue and on the south by the Fraser River; it stretches from the University Endowment Lands on the west to Mackenzie, Quesnel and Blenheim Streets in the east. It is centred on Dunbar Street. Southlands lies south of Marine Drive in the floodplain of the Fraser River.
