Cloverdale: Surrey’s Historic Heart Still Beating Strong

Cloverdale, once Surrey’s civic and commercial centre, remains a vibrant symbol of the city’s heritage. Originating as Clover Valley in the 1870s, the area flourished with the arrival of major rail lines and became home to Surrey’s first municipal hall. Though its prominence waned with mid-20th-century infrastructure shifts, Cloverdale has since revived as a cultural hub, housing key attractions like the Museum of Surrey and the Cloverdale Rodeo. Nearby Clayton, with its own historic roots, has grown into a thriving residential area, continuing the legacy of Cloverdale’s historic heart.
