Realtors for Cloverdale, Surrey, Fraser Valley

Known as the historic centre of Surrey British Columbia, Cloverdale was settled in the late 1800s, and developed into a major transportation hub in the heyday of the railcar. It was the seat of Surrey’s municipal government for over 50 years, and although the clover fields that bare its namesake have dwindled, many of Cloverdale’s heritage buildings remain having been preserved, revitalized, and one important landmark rebuilt – Surrey’s heritage rail at Cloverdale Station.
