Homes for Sale in Albion, BC

Albion sits on the south side of Maple Ridge, immediately adjacent to the Golden Ears Bridge that connects the City to the Township of Langley across the Fraser River. The neighbourhood roughly runs from 232 Street east toward 248 Street, with the Lougheed Highway as the northern spine and the Fraser River dyke / Kanaka Way as the southern edge. North East Albion is a distinct planning sub-area south of 110 Avenue. Cottonwood is a separate adjacent neighbourhood, not a sub-area of Albion.

Albion has the deepest non-Indigenous-settlement history of any Maple Ridge neighbourhood. Samuel Robertson and his Indigenous wife Julia were the first European settlers; Robertson planted what is reported to be British Columbia's first fruit orchard. The community was renamed from "East Haney" to "Albion" in 1907 at Canada Post's request. The Albion Ferry operated between Albion and Fort Langley from June 2, 1957 to July 31, 2009 (originally by the BC Ministry of Highways, later TransLink); tolls of 40¢ per car were removed February 15, 1972. The final ferry vessel was the MV K'wo:Kwo:I (originally MV T'Lagunna). The Golden Ears Bridge replaced the ferry — opened June 16, 2009; cost $808 million; built by the Golden Crossing Constructors JV. Tolls were eliminated September 1, 2017 by the BC government.
