Surrey North.
6 candidates, one seat.

The Province of British Columbia says that former Musqueam Indian Reserve No. 1 and Kwantlen Indian Reserve No. 8 were in qiqéyt, an important village site near the Surrey end of the Pattullo Bridge. The website of the bridge replacement project gives the same account. It names the Nations in their own language, hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓, as xʷməθkʷəy̓əm for Musqueam and q̓ʷa:n̓ƛ̓ən̓ for Kwantlen.

BC Geographical Names holds a record for the nearby place called Brownsville. It quotes a manuscript written in 1927, which says the site was Kikait, a summer camp of the Kwantlen. The record places Brownsville on the river side opposite New Westminster and says the area is now generally known as South Westminster.

The City of Surrey's heritage register says that in 1861 work began on a trail south of the Fraser River from New Westminster to Yale, where steamboat travel on the river ended. The trail became a wagon road in 1865 and is now called Old Yale Road. The City's page for Kennedy Trail Park says James Kennedy built the Kennedy Trail in the same year, as a land route for settlers between New Westminster and Mud Bay, and calls it the first trail built by a settler in the Lower Mainland. It ran from the south bank of the river through North Delta and West Newton. Kennedy Trail Park at 12237 82 Avenue and the school beside it are named after it.

The register says the first regular crossing of the Fraser River was in 1882, when the steam ferry K de K carried wagons and passengers from Browns Landing, now the river end of Old Yale Road, to New Westminster. BC Geographical Names says Brownsville was named after Ebenezer Brown, who owned property at the point, and that a hostelry called Punch's Hotel stood there. The Brownsville Post Office opened on 1 February 1891 and closed on 31 December 1903. The City registered Brownsville Park and Sandbar as a heritage site on January 12, 2004.

Several buildings from the first decades survive near the river. The City's register dates Robert Kennedy House at 12481 Old Yale Road to 1892 and says Robert was the son of the pioneers James and Caroline Kennedy. The north part of the Louis Dahl House at 11334 River Road was built in 1906, with a south extension added circa 1923, and the register says its early owners had ties to the Norwegian community on the Surrey-Delta border. The Sandell Grocery Store at 11409 128 Street was built in 1908 as South Westminster's first grocery store and post office.

St. Helen's Anglican Church at 10787 128 Street was built in 1911 with donations from W.J. Walker, a Surrey pioneer, to serve the South Westminster community. South Westminster School at 12469 104 Avenue was built circa 1914 for a rapidly developing community served by several new railways. The Olsen House at 10979 Olsen Road, built circa 1925, is described by the register as a remaining example of the early residential streets of Brownsville that industry gradually replaced.

South of Whalley, the City's register uses the heritage area name Kennedy. The Kennedy Community Hall at 8870 120 Street was built in 1934 in the salt box style common to barns of that decade, on the ground where Manns Mill operated in 1910. The Red Cedar Stump at 8920 Queen Mary Boulevard is what remains of a tree estimated at 500 to 1000 years old, with a circumference of 30 feet. The register calls it an example of the old growth forest that once covered all of Surrey, and the City protected it by Heritage Designation By-law No. 8131 of 1985.

The register also lists the Rock Tree at 12237 91A Avenue, a 20 metre western red cedar growing out of a boulder that its growth has split, and says the Sto:lo consider the tree culturally significant. In Bear Creek Park, the City says a heritage marker shows a historic map of local landowners, dated circa 1940, who called themselves stump farmers. The marker acknowledges the varied cultural backgrounds of these farmers and the forced removal of Japanese Canadians during the Second World War.

TransLink's blog says the Pattullo Bridge opened on November 15, 1937, at a cost of $4 million. It was 1.2 kilometres long and replaced an older bridge that carried both road and rail traffic. The City of Surrey says the opening gave a reason for faster settlement of North Surrey, and that when the tolls were removed in 1952 the area saw a large increase in commercial and residential building.

A column in the Peace Arch News in 2021 says that South Westminster and Bridgeview, next to the Pattullo Bridge, were among the parts of Surrey that suffered widespread flooding when the Fraser River flooded in 1948. The Surrey Now-Leader reported in December 2025 that SkyTrain reached Surrey in March 1990, when passengers began using Scott Road Station for rides across the SkyBridge. It added that the line grew again in 1994 with the opening of Gateway, Surrey Central and King George stations.

The City's pages describe several public places in the west of Whalley. Royal Kwantlen Park at 13035 104 Avenue lies between 104 Avenue and 106 Avenue and has an area of 15 hectares by the City's figure. Bridgeview Park at 12560 115 Avenue holds the Bridgeview Community Centre, which the City lists at 11475 126A Street. Bear Creek Park at 13750 88 Avenue has an outdoor pool and a spray park that the City says was rebuilt in 2026, with salmon and creek designs by Natache Gabriel of Kwantlen First Nation.

In June 2019 Surrey City Council voted to decommission the North Surrey Rec Centre, which was first constructed in 1965 near City Hall, with a plan to move ice and sport programs to a new complex. The City held the grand opening of the North Surrey Sport & Ice Complex at 10950 126A Street on Saturday, January 18, 2020, according to the Surrey Now-Leader. More than 500 guests attended. The City said the complex would host the WickFest hockey tournament from January 30 to February 2, 2020, with 1,500 young female athletes in the tournament's second year in Surrey.

The Pattullo Bridge Replacement Project says the Musqueam Indian Band and Kwantlen First Nation gave the new bridge its name in the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ language. The name stal̕əw̓asəm can be understood as a space where you can view the river, and the English name is Riverview. The project describes a toll-free bridge with four lanes, built for a cost of $1.637 billion, which the Province will own and maintain. The contract to design and build it went to Fraser Crossing Partners.

TransLink says vehicles lost access to the Pattullo Bridge from 8 p.m. on Friday, February 6, 2026, while work continued on the new bridge. The Province says all four lanes of the stal̕əw̓asəm Bridge opened to vehicles on Saturday, February 14, 2026, and that it estimates the removal of the Pattullo Bridge will take two years. The Province gives the new bridge's length as 1,235 metres.
