About Albion
Where to stay in Albion
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
The Fraser River sets one edge. Albion's official bounds run from that waterfront to Kanaka Way and 240th Street, so an address here means choosing between the riverside stretch and the Maple Ridge Fairgrounds side, or the newer building east of 240th Street toward the Lougheed Highway. Kanaka Creek runs just west.
Fort Langley sits across the water.
About Albion
What are the main landmarks in Albion?
Water and road do the work here. The Fraser River makes one boundary, Kanaka Way and 240th Street the others, and the Maple Ridge Fairgrounds stand among the adjoining areas the historic community took in. Kanaka Creek lies west.
Fort Langley faces it across the Fraser River, close enough that the two settlements are recorded as near contemporaries.
What is the history of Albion?
Albion came first. Among the small towns folded into Maple Ridge at the municipality's creation, it is recorded as the oldest non-Indigenous settlement in the district, only slightly younger than Fort Langley across the Fraser River. Kanaka Creek carries its own history alongside, the community on Kanaka Way and the near bank of the creek being counted separately from Albion.
Where is Albion?
Maple Ridge holds it. The Fraser River edges Albion on one side, with Kanaka Way and 240th Street closing the other bounds in British Columbia.
