Some History
Pitt Meadows was first settled in the mid-19th century, with its name derived from the Pitt River and the area's meadowlands. Originally, the region was primarily agricultural, known for its fertile soil and productive farms. The construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway in the late 19th century helped to establish Pitt Meadows as a key agricultural hub by connecting it to larger markets. Over the years, the community grew from a rural farming area into a vibrant town, balancing its agricultural roots with suburban development. Today, Pitt Meadows retains its historic charm while embracing modern growth, with its rich heritage reflected in its scenic landscapes and community spirit.
