"After the Italian patriot and soldier (1807-82). A colourful story has it that Mount Garibaldi was named by an Italian serving as a sailor on a survey ship, the mountain being in view on Garibaldi’s birthday. All we can say with certainty is that the name, whatever its origins, was officially conferred by Captain Richards of HM survey ship Plumper sometime around 1860. Garibaldi Park was created in 1927. Garibaldi station on the BCR was formerly Daisy Lake station."
