Pitt Meadows, BC

            Pitt Meadows, BC
 
Pitt Meadows is a city in southwestern British Columbia, Canada and a member municipality in Metro Vancouver. Incorporated in 1914, it has a land area of 32.97 square miles. 

History:

Aboriginal people resided in the Pitt Meadows area approximately 1000 years ago. James McMillan explored the area in 1874. 

Europeans started a settlement known as Bonson's Landing in the area in the 1870s. Early settlers were mostly Anglo-Saxon until after 1910. The municipality takes its name from the Pitt River and Pitt Lake. The word "Pitt" is of Dutch origin from the term "pitt polder" meaning converted wetlands and is related to the Dutch dyke building company and Dutch farming community of this area in the mid-1900s.

The river, the lake and the settlement were apparently named for British prime minister William Pitt the Younger.

The Municipality of Maple Ridge, which included the Pitt Meadows area, was incorporated in 1874. In 1885, the Canadian Pacific Railway was constructed through Pitt Meadows to Port Moody, British Columbia.
