| The first settlers in the area were the Sto:lo people, residents for over 10,000 years, known as part of the Coast Salish. They were the first hunters, boat builders, fishers, gatherers, loggers and made extensive use of the Fraser River and its tributraries.

This region covered most of the lower Fraser River, from Richmond to Yale. | |
