How many people would plan a trip to see a place too small and unimportant to be mentioned in most travel books? It seems like an unlikely choice, but small cities can have a surprising number of tourist sights and be as diverse and vibrant as many larger centres. Chilliwack, British Columbia, is a good example. With festivals, natural areas, and much more, Chilliwack is a city well worth visiting.

If the early settlers could see the city now, they would be amazed at the changes that have occurred in the past century and a half. Chilliwack lies one hundred kilometres east of Vancouver between the American border and the Fraser River. Like many Canadian towns and cities, the area had a long Aboriginal history before Europeans settled there in connection with the fur trade and the gold rush. In 1873, settlers established the Township of Chilliwack and later a community called Centreville, which was renamed in 1887 to match the township. Almost a century later, in 1980, the township and city merged to become the new city of Chilliwack.

Chilliwack may not be the most popular tourist destination, but it has a great deal to offer for a long or short visit.
