North Delta is located in and is part of the Municipality of Delta. Delta is the most southwest region of the British Columbia Lower Mainland. The Community of North Delta is in the northeast corner of Delta.

Delta has the Communities of Ladner, Tsawwassen, and North Delta within its boundaries. North Delta is an unincorporated community and is governed by the Municipality of Delta.

North Delta has the largest population of any of the communities in Delta and is known as the “Family Friendly Community.” North Delta is on the upland area along the Municipality’s northeastern border with Surrey. We couldn’t find the population of North Delta but the Municipality of Delta has a population of over 100,000.

How do I find North Delta?

The easiest way to find Ladner is to take BC Highway-99 from the US Border in Blaine and head north or from Vancouver, go south on BC-99 to Exit 16 (Annacis Island / New Westminster). The Exit is 10 miles ( 16 KM) from Blaine and 26 miles (41.9 KM) from Vancouver. Travel north 3.5 miles (5.6 KM) to the exit to 72^nd Avenue. Turn east (right), from here to 120^th avenue is North Delta. Scott Road (120^th Avenue) is the boundary between Delta and Surrey. North Delta extends both north and south of 72^nd Avenue from BC-99 nearly to the Fraser River.

A little History

Originally these lands were inhabited by the Tsawwassen Band of the Salish Indians. They were hunter, gatherers and roamed to different areas, up and down the river, mainland, and in the islands, with the season and availability of food. The land that now makes up Delta was first sighted by the Spanish explorer Francisco Eliza. He thought the area was an island and named it Isla Capedia. The gold rush of the 1800’s brought settlers to the area who took note of the fertile soil on their way to the gold fields. Many of those who didn’t make their fortune in the gold fields settled in the area.

In 1868 two brothers, Thomas and William Ladner settled land on Chilukthan slough, a slough off of the Fraser River on the Fraser River Delta. In 1873 William built a wharf so he could send his agricultural products to markets in Victoria, Nanaimo, New Westminster, and other communities by steam boat. Soon farmers from all over the area were using the wharf and a community began to develop around the wharf. The site became known as Ladner’s Landing.

In 1879 the residents of the area joined together and petitioned the provincial government of British Columbia to incorporate. The name “Delta” showed up in 1879 when the Municipality of Delta, which included the communities of Ladner and Tsawwassen, was incorporated and simply comes from the fact that the Municipality is located on the Fraser River Delta.

A little more about North Delta

The only commercial area in North Delta is along Scott Road (120^th Avenue). The Scott Road is the eastern border of Delta. The west side of the Scott Road is in North Delta and the east side of the Scott Road is in Surrey. To keep it simple we have put both sides of this busy street full of small shopping centers and commercial establishments on this page. In general you will find the south end of the Scott Road more modern and a hub of activity.
