Mud Bay

MUD BAY, a shallow, silty extension of BOUNDARY BAY 25 km southeast of VANCOUVER, was also the name of an adjacent AGRICULTURAL district in SURREY first settled in the 1860s. WILLIAM WOODWARD arrived in 1873; his farmhouse became a stagecoach stop on the SEMIAHMOO Trail and the site of an early post office in 1881. When the GREAT NORTHERN RWY built its line from PORT GUICHON through CLOVERDALE in 1903, the station here was named Alluvia after the rich soil. The area is still semirural.
