Port Kells
Port Kells is a neighbourhood of the City of Surrey in British Columbia, Canada, located at the northeastern end of that city adjacent to the Fraser River and west of the neighbourhood of Walnut Grove (part of the Township of Langley).
History
The Township of Port Kells was founded in 1889 by two Irish pioneers, both named Henry Kells, though unrelated. It was originally intended as a port and was laid out in 1890 by the Royal Engineers.[1]
In the early 1960s, the Trans-Canada Highway was built through Port Kells and since the 1970s, it has become a major commercial and industrial area.[1]
