Visit British Columbia's original capital city. New Westminster is also known as the Royal City, symbolizing the city's historic ties with the Royal Family. New Westminster was founded in 1859 and named by Queen Victoria after her favourite part of London. Nestled on the banks of the Fraser River, New Westminster retains its old world charm with tree-lined streets of heritage homes. Come see where the Royal Family toured, ride the paddle wheeler down the mighty Fraser River, visit our historic downtown, or discover the unique artisans and designers that have made New Westminster home. We're just a short SkyTrain ride away.
