Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: This sign was erected by the Whatcom County Parks and Recreation Department and reads:
Boundary Marker #1 On June 15, 1846 Great Britain and the United States of America established the 49th parallel as the border between the United States and Canada. This obelisk was made in Scotland and placed on this western point of the boundary in 1865 marking the longest undefended border in the world. The Monument and Park was restored by the Tsawwassen Boundary Bay Lions Club, the Point Roberts Senior Center, and the Whatcom County Parks and Recreation Staff. This sign was placed here on June 15, 1996 marking 150 years of peaceful coexistence betws our two nations. |
