Port Hammond

PORT HAMMOND, on the north shore of the FRASER R 34 km east of VANCOUVER in MAPLE RIDGE, was a CPR depot and SAWMILL town that declined after the Lougheed Hwy was built to the north through HANEY. John Hammond, a farmer, and his brother William, a civil engineer, settled here in 1872 and developed the townsite in hopes that it would become a port for deep-sea SHIPPING.
