Duncan, a small town in the Cowichan Valley of app. 5000, was originally a whistle-stop at William Duncan's farm in the 1880's. Today Duncan is the civic centre of the Cowichan Valley. Since 1985, Duncan has transformed itself into the "City of Totems" - a unique urban forest with distinctive hand-carved cedar poles from local native artisans on public display in parks and downtown streets. Duncan is also the traditional home of the Coast Salish Indians.
Duncan's cityscape is a fine example of an old tradition infused with contemporary relevance and life.
