Surrey-Guildford.
4 candidates, one seat.

The Katzie First Nation writes on its website that its people have lived in their territory for thousands of years and keep deep connections to its rivers, sloughs, creeks and wetlands. The Nation names the river at the centre of its territory sq̓ə́yc̓əyaʔɬ státləw, which it translates as the river of the Katzie. It says that in the area now called Pitt Meadows, Maple Ridge, Surrey, Langley and Delta, Katzie have ancient names for many places where their ancestors lived and worked. Surrey Schools acknowledges the Kwantlen, Katzie and Semiahmoo Nations as the Nations on whose traditional and unceded territories its people live, learn and work.

Surrey Bend Regional Park lies in the north-east corner of Surrey on the Fraser River. The Surrey Now-Leader reported in April 2016 that Metro Vancouver and the City of Surrey began acquiring land for the 348-hectare park in 1995, that the park lies in the Fraser Heights area, and that a public opening event would take place there on Saturday, April 16. The City of Surrey describes the park as one of the few remaining large, undyked sections of the lower Fraser River. It says the City and Metro Vancouver developed the park together under a shared management plan. The City's Abbey Ridge plan names Abbey Ridge as the neighbourhood in East Fraser Heights that lies between Highway 1 and the park.

The City of Surrey's heritage register lists a two-storey farmhouse at 8897 168 Street, dated to circa 1875 and built from hand-split cedar logs, and says it is thought to be the oldest remaining house in Surrey. The Canadian Register of Historic Places says the Bothwell brothers settled the Tynehead and Anniedale area in the 1860s, taking land along Coast Meridian Road, now 168 Street, near the headwaters of the Serpentine River. The Encyclopedia of British Columbia dates the arrival of the three Bothwell brothers to the 1880s and says the place was first called Bothwell Settlement before it took the name Tynehead after Tyne, their Scottish home. The two sources give different decades.

The Tynehead Community Hall was built in 1907 on land donated by Thomas Bothwell, through an initiative of the Orangemen of Loyal Orange Lodge 1471 at Surrey Centre. The register calls it the second oldest community hall in Surrey and says descendants of the original settlers have held their annual reunion there since 1952. The City also lists the second Tynehead school, built in 1908 and altered in 1923, at 8820 168 Street. It lists the McCaskill House at 16343 96 Avenue, built in 1905, as the second oldest remaining building in Tynehead.

The City of Surrey describes Tynehead Regional Park as 260 hectares of meadow and forest at the headwaters of the Serpentine River, and says its trails and viewing platforms give a view of spawning salmon from October through December. Metro Vancouver says the Tynehead Hatchery raises coho, chum and chinook salmon that return to the river to spawn, and that the Serpentine Enhancement Society, a non-profit volunteer group, runs it. The Surrey Now-Leader reported in 2011 that a group of volunteers built the hatchery in 1988.

BC Geographical Names says Port Kells is named after Henry and Mary Anne Kells, who bought property beside Holt Road and the New Westminster Southern Railroad in June 1887. They sold it in 1889 and made their home one and a half miles to the north, on the east side of Latimer Road. There they built a general store, and the Port Kells post office opened on 1 October 1891 with Henry Kells as postmaster. The entry adds that the townsite was laid out in 1890, and that the name Port Kells was adopted for the settlement on 11 February 1936.

Parks Canada's register says Port Kells was conceived as a fresh water port on the banks of the Fraser River. It says development was sporadic, that hopes rested on the railway's plans at nearby Port Mann, and that the area stayed mainly agricultural until the building of the Trans-Canada Highway in the 1960s made industrial development possible. In a separate entry on the Port Kells school the register says rail service was in place by 1891 and that the tracks were removed in 1929, after which the old rail route between Port Kells and Cloverdale was paved for cars.

Two buildings from this period are on the City of Surrey's heritage register. St. Oswald's Church at 19016 96 Avenue was built in 1911, and the City protects four Douglas firs and one western red cedar from the cleared church site, on 190 Street between 95A Avenue and 96 Avenue, as the oldest trees in Port Kells. The house at 9568 192 Street known as The Castle was built circa 1900 and enlarged under Baron Carl von Mackensen, who bought it in 1910. The register says rumours of spying arose when the First World War began, that he was interned at Vernon, and that he was deported to Germany in July 1919.

Parks Canada's register entry for the Pillath House in the Port Mann neighbourhood says the New Westminster Southern Railway set up a stop in 1891 at Bon Accord, a small fishing settlement on the Fraser River with a landing where steamboats took on fuel. In 1911 the name changed, when Sir Donald Mann and Sir William MacKenzie chose Port Mann as the western end of their railway and as a rival to Vancouver. The register says extensive rail yards and warehouses were built there, but the plan for a major urban centre did not happen.

The Encyclopedia of British Columbia tells the same story in shorter form and names their company as the Canadian Northern Railway. It says the townsite laid out in 1911 and named for Donald Mann did not attract settlers, that the railway's terminus moved to Vancouver, and that the site has been used mainly for industry. The Electoral Boundaries Commission names a Bon Accord Creek as part of the district's western boundary.

The Encyclopedia of British Columbia says the Port Mann Bridge was completed in 1964 and carries the Trans-Canada Highway across the Fraser River from Surrey to Coquitlam. BCBusiness wrote in 2013 that the British developer Grosvenor-Laing built Guildford Town Centre in 1966, with Woodward's as its original anchor tenant, as the new bridge and highway brought commuters to what had been rural acreages. The magazine called it Surrey's oldest and biggest mall. BC Geographical Names says the Surrey District Municipality supplied the name Guildford on 18 July 1977, and that the form was changed to Guildford (Urban Community) on 16 November 1995.

The Surrey Now-Leader reported that the mall's $280-million, 213,500-square-foot expansion opened to the public on Wednesday, August 28, 2013, with more than 70 stores and a 1,034-seat food court. The City of Surrey runs the Guildford Recreation Centre at 15105 105 Avenue near the mall, attached to a branch of Surrey Libraries, and the Fraser Heights Recreation Centre at 10588 160 Street.

The bridge itself was replaced. A British Columbia government release of April 11, 2013 says a plaque from the original five-lane bridge, dated 1964, and a new plaque marking the opening in December 2012 were unveiled together, and that crews were taking down the original span so the new bridge could be completed to 10 lanes. A traffic survey released with it found that drivers between Langley and Vancouver had cut 35 minutes from their trip.

In April 2003 Surrey's Council authorized staff to prepare a general land use plan for South Port Kells, and in May 2005 it approved the plan after community meetings and a citizen advisory committee. The plan area is 608 hectares between Highway 1 and the Agricultural Land Reserve. The Anniedale Tynehead plan followed. Council endorsed the draft land use plan in October 2010 and the land use and servicing parts of the final plan in April 2012. The City says the area, which covers 408 hectares, is designated for up to 20,000 residents, and in September 2024 Council endorsed a Stage 1 plan to update it.

In Fraser Heights, Council approved the final Abbey Ridge plan on February 6, 2017, for 175 hectares that are mostly residential, with industrial land along the Golden Ears Connector. The Guildford Plan began in 2016 on the basis of light rail along 104 Avenue. The City says the Surrey-Newton-Guildford Light Rail Transit project was suspended in November 2018, after the election of a new Council. Council gave Stage 1 approval in July 2019 and final approval on October 30, 2023, for a plan area of 515 hectares that takes in Guildford Centre and is meant to guide growth over the next 30 to 50 years.
