Description
Pitt Meadows is a city in Metro Vancouver, British Columbia, situated where the Fraser and Pitt Rivers meet. The area covers approximately 86 square kilometers and is characterized by extensive farmland and rural landscape.
History
The municipality was established in 1914 after local residents petitioned for independence from Maple Ridge. This separation allowed the area to develop its own governance and pursue its agricultural direction.
