Chilliwack, Municipal center in Fraser Valley, Canada

The city of Chilliwack extends across 261 square kilometers of land in southwestern British Columbia, bordered by the Fraser River and mountain ranges.

The settlement transformed from a gold rush stopover in the 1860s to an incorporated township in 1873, later merging its city and township sections in 1980.

The name originates from the Halq'eméylem language of the Stó:lō First Nations, who maintained settlements in this region for over 10,000 years.

Agricultural activities occupy two-thirds of Chilliwack's territory through the Agricultural Land Reserve, supporting extensive dairy farming and fruit production operations.

The Chilliwack Tulip Festival presents 6.5 million flowers each spring, creating a natural display of colors across the valley floor.
