Forest Knolls, British Columbia
History
The neighbourhood was formerly forest and farmland before being urbanized in the 1960s and 1970s. It was originally marketed as the Stanley Park of the Fraser Valley in reference to the large number of evergreen trees located throughout the area. The historical Telegraph Trail traversed the area the neighbourhood is now located in.[1]
The area was home to eccentric British Columbian and former consul general of Monaco in Canada, Fritz Ziegler. Mr. Ziegler had constructed a replica 16th Century castle in which he resided.[2] Although the castle was demolished in the late 2000s, an adjacent nature path - the Ziegler Trail - is named after Mr. Ziegler.
