The first settlers in Maple Ridge, British Columbia, were primarily of European descent, with the area being established in the mid-19th century. The region was initially inhabited by Indigenous peoples, including the Katzie and Kwantlen nations, long before European arrival. The first significant wave of settlers arrived in the 1860s, attracted by agricultural opportunities and the fertile land along the Fraser River. Maple Ridge was officially incorporated as a district municipality in 1874.
