Some History

Burnaby has a rich history that dates back to the mid-19th century. Established in 1892 and named after explorer Robert Burnaby, the area initially grew as a rural suburb of Vancouver, serving as a vital link between the city and the Fraser Valley. The development of transportation routes, including the interurban tram in the early 1900s, spurred rapid growth, transforming Burnaby from agricultural land into a thriving residential and commercial hub. By the 1950s, Burnaby had become a key urban center, and in 1992, it was officially designated a city. Today, Burnaby is known for its diverse population, vibrant neighbourhoods, and blend of natural and urban environments, reflecting its evolution from a rural settlement to a bustling metropolitan area.
