5 Surrey, BC Information & Driving Directions City Of Surrey Surrounded by lush green fields, quiet forest trails, and over eighty spacious parks, the Lower Mainland town of Surrey is the second-largest municipality in British Columbia and the ninth largest city in Canada. With over 200 recreational areas, Surrey certainly earns its motto as The City of Parks. Incorporated in 1879, Surrey was named by Englishman H.J. Brewer, who looked out across the Fraser River from New Westminster and saw a lovely land that resembled his native County of Surrey in England. Although First Nations people confined their travels in this area to hunting for waterfowl and gathering berries, European settlers where less choosey. They drained, dyked and cleared the tangled swampland into submission, seeking rich delta soil for their crops. The Fraser River played a key role in the development of Surrey. As the first highway for pioneers, the Fraser was spanned by boat, barge, canoe and ferry. Surrey continues to be a primarily agricultural area to this day, although farmland has slowly been giving way to strip malls and subdivisions as Vancouver sprawls southward. In order to avoid confusion when travelling in the Surrey area, it's important to note that reference is often made to former villages such as Whalley, Newton, Cloverdale, and South Surrey, which have all amalgamated into the city of Surrey. Surrey has pleasant temperatures year round, less rainfall than many neighbouring communities, and a significant number of summer sunshine hours to fully enjoy a variety of outdoor pursuits Located at the crossroads of the Pacific Rim, Greater Vancouver and the United States, Surrey is accessible to all major cities in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. The recent addition of the Skytrain rapid transit line means Vancouver is less than 35 minutes away via public transit. Surrey is traversed to five major highways, four railways, deep-sea docking facilities and an international airport. The Canada/U.S. border puts City Centre businesses within easy access of local, national and world markets. As one of the fastest growing cities in Canada, Surrey City Centre has been touted as the Lower Mainland's Downtown for the Fraser Valley. Population: 402,150 Location: Surrey is located on Highway 1A, east Delta and south of the Fraser River, 25 miles (40 km) southeast of Vancouver. *This information was taken from: BritishColumbia.com Driving Directions Surrey is located just south of Hwy-1 in far southwest British Columbia, approx. 35 km southeast of Vancouver, BC.
