In the early 1800’s, people arrived and settled large tracts of land in Surrey. Agriculture was established, homesteads were built, roads and trails were developed, local government was selected and small settlements with churches, schools and stores thrived. In the subsequent 145 years, Surrey has become the 12th largest city in Canada and the second largest in BC.

The City of Surrey has a number of Heritage Facilities that are dedicated to preserving the history on this region. The Historic Stewart Farm and the Surrey Museum hold a variety of special events, exhibitions, school programs, tours and facility rentals. To learn more visit their websites.
