Albion, British Columbia

Burgeoning newer home construction east of 240th Street near the Lougheed Highway [1] is also often referred to as part of Albion.

Samuel Robertson and his Indigenous wife Julia were the first "European" settlers, he establishing the first fruit orchard in British Columbia two years before he permanently relocated from across the river at Fort Langley.

Farmland on the north side of the highway and semi-wild green fields and trees that typified the old rural community are succumbing to suburban sprawl.

[12] The Hill House, a 4,000-square-foot (370 m2) 1912 Edwardian style landmark in four storeys, is located on 240th just north of Lougheed Highway.

Consistent with the rapid expansion of this neighbourhood in recent years, growth (likened to a "vinyl monster", a reference to the exterior finish of many newer area homes in an urban development which is spreading over the landscape),[15] shopping,[16][17][18] and crowded elementary school facilities are among issues which have motivated discussion.
