New Westminster's history was born of gold;
its siting born of military necessity;
its role born of simple economics and business.
It is a history filled with tales of the river and of
the ships and men and women who pioneered its use.
It is a history filled with colour, music and the sights and
sounds of BC's history. It is also a history filled with
manufacturing everything from cheese boxes to ocean going ships.
Finally, it is a history filled with people of all types
who have, over the years, formed a community of
diverse tastes and common ideals.
New Westminster - the Royal City - 1859 to today.
A community proud of its past and looking
forward to its future.
