Matsqui, British Columbia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Matsqui is a former district municipality in British Columbia, Canada. It was incorporated in 1892, and merged with the district municipality of Abbotsford in 1995 to create the new City of Abbotsford.

The name, Matsqui, can also be used to refer to a small historic village located on Matsqui Prairie, which was also formerly part of the district municipality of Matsqui. It can be found to the immediate northwest of the present day junction of Harris Road and British Columbia Highway 11 (just south of the Fraser River) in what is now the City of Abbotsford. A branch line of the Canadian Pacific Railway also runs from Mission, BC to the US border through the eastern boundary of the village.
