Pitt Meadows

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.

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.

The Pitt Meadows Museum, located in a former general store building, displays items and photos that tell the story of how farming shaped the community. Visitors can see everyday objects from the area's agricultural past and understand how people lived and worked here.

The West Coast Express train connects Pitt Meadows to Vancouver and neighboring communities with regular weekday service. This makes it easy to explore the area and reach other parts of Metro Vancouver without a car.

Cranberry and blueberry farms dominate the landscape and occupy a significant portion of the municipality's territory. These specific crops shape what visitors see when traveling through the area and define the local farming economy.
