Manoah Steves
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Manoah Steves (originally Steeves; 1828–1897) was the founder of Steveston, British Columbia, which is named in his honour. The village has since been amalgamated into the city of Richmond in Metro Vancouver.
Steves was a descendant of Heinrich Stief and Regina Stahlecker, founders of the Steeves family in North America.[1][2] As a Stief descendant, Steves is a second cousin of William Steeves, a Father of Canadian Confederation.[1] He is also the great-grandfather of Richmond politician Harold Steves, who as of 2021 owns the farm founded by Manoah.[1]
