About Ladner
Where to stay in Ladner
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Three heritage houses mark the streets a visitor would walk, and a bed in Ladner puts the John McKee Residence, the Thomas Kerr Residence and the Bishop Residence within the same errand. The Fraser River bank does the rest. Delta wraps around it, so anyone booking here accepts a suburb of Vancouver rather than the city, with the old fishing-village grid rather than a downtown address.
Guests here pick from a short list of places to stay.
About Ladner
What are the main landmarks in Ladner?
The register names three houses. John McKee Residence, Thomas Kerr Residence and Bishop Residence are the listed buildings recorded in Ladner, each a residence rather than a civic or church building, which makes the neighbourhood's heritage a domestic one. No hall joins them.
Their common thread is the fishing village that Delta grew out of, and the Fraser River frontage that gave those first households a reason to build where they did.
What is the history of Ladner?
Ladner was created in 1868 as a fishing village, laid along the banks of the Fraser River rather than planned as a suburb of anything. Fish came before houses. Delta absorbed the settlement in time, which is how a river village on the Fraser River ended up a neighbourhood inside a Vancouver suburb, and the three listed residences remain as the built record of the households that followed.
Where is Ladner?
Ladner sits on the Fraser River bank within Delta, British Columbia, Canada, a coastal pocket of the Vancouver suburbs.
