The history of Suri

Suri was founded in 1879, and the land occupied was originally the residence of a group of aborigines who said Harquemeilinyu. When H.J. Brewer, an immigrant from Surrey, England, looked at this land from the second port across the Fishha River, he thought it was very similar to his hometown, so he named it Surrey. Other immigrants will also settle here in the future. At that time, Suri was mainly a forest, and the plants in the forest included Douglas fir, Chinese fir, red cliff cypress, poisonous violet, blackberry and cranberry. Early immigrants took the lead in settling in Cloverdale and South Suri, mainly making a living by farming, fishing, catching oysters or running small shops.

1937 The Baitulu Bridge connecting Suri and Ergang was opened to traffic, which opened a new page in the development history of Suri. After World War II, Suri developed into satellite towns of Vancouver and Bernaby, especially in North Suri District. With the influx of immigrants from other regions at home and abroad, Suri experienced unprecedented growth in the 1960s and 1960s, and was officially upgraded to a city in the 1960s and 1990s.
