What is the origin of the term Lower Mainland?
Does it refer mainly to elevation above sea level (like Richmond and the airport being especially lower)?
Or does Lower refer to south on the map? (If so, are the 48 states the Lower Lower Mainland?)
Is there some other origin?
What are the northern and eastern limits of the Lower Mainland?
How long has the expression been in use?
