Duncan Campbell Patterson Sr., (January 2, 1860 – June 25, 1931) is recognized in Vancouver, Burnaby, and New Westminster, British Columbia, as a key pioneer.
He arrived in Canada on July 1, 1884 and worked in Victoria's building trade while living there.
He moved to Burnaby, Alberta, where he purchased a five-acre parcel of land that now forms the north east section of Central Park.
Patterson began as an engineer with Armstrong Morrison & Balfour and later became a Vancouver Engineering Works foreman boilermaker.
He founded Vulcan Iron Works of New Westminster in 1903, was the first postmaster of the Edmonds district in 1909 and was a member of the New Westminster Board of Trade in 1911.
He was elected a Burnaby school trustee in 1912 and owned and operated a real estate firm in Barkerville, where he purchased and developed property as far away as Barkerville.
He also owned and operated an insurance company for many years.
The family is named on Patterson Avenue, which he first claimed as a trail, and Patterson station, where he constructed the first interurban stop along the British Columbia Electric Railway. Patterson was born in Partick, Lanarkshire, Scotland, on January 2, 1860.
He was one of three sons born to John Murdoch Paterson of Rutherglen and Margaret (Purdon) Paterson of Partick.
He attended the Glasgow common school and served as a ship joiner for Barclay Curle & Company (founded in 1818) in Whiteinch, Scotland.
He later served in the Anchor Line Shipyards (founded in 1856) in Partick.
He changed the spelling of his last name from "Paterson" to "Patterson" after his arrival in Canada.
Frances Mabel Webb, a granddaughter of Thomas Webb, founder of Thomas Webb & Sons, manufacturer of fine English glass, married him in Victoria, British Columbia, on February 7, 1891.
Dugald and Frances Patterson raised seven children together. Patterson, a 1915 Canadian soldier, took a Royal Navy commission to go to Scotland to supervise a group of Canadians in the building of submarines on the River Clyde near Glasgow, Scotland.
It was here that he sustained an accident that left him in a wheelchair for the remainder of his life.
Since returning home, he was still active in both municipal affairs and the arts.
He devised a scheme that would save ravines as parks in Burnaby, and he wrote a book of poetry shortly before his death in 1931 in Vancouver.
The family home, which is also known as Dugald and Frances Patterson House, has been a heritage landmark in Burnaby since 1994, and is listed on the "Canada's Historic Sites" website.
William Harold Patterson, a son who served in the Canadian Army and a first World War II soldier, and Dolma, a Canadian naval pioneer who was granddaughter of Dugald Patterson Patterson, are among Patterson family members.
