Brownsville, British Columbia
Brownsville was a former community in what is now the City of Surrey, British Columbia, Canada. Also known as South Westminster, it was located where the city ran a small ferry across the Fraser River, today approximately where the east footing of the Skytrain bridge is, this was also the former site of Kikait, one of the main summer villages of the Kwantlen people.〔(BC Names entry "Brownsville (former locality)" )〕
==History==
The town was named after Ebenezer Brown, who owned property in the area and had come from England in 1858-1859 during the Fraser Gold Rush. He was a stonemason and made the border monument at Point Roberts. He served on New Westminster's city council and later was elected as MLA for New Westminster, then for New Westminster City, and became President of the Executive Council of British Columbia (i.e. the cabinet). Issues about conflict of interest in connection with railway building led to his retirement from politics in 1881.〔letter from John C. Brown, another former MLA, January 14 1927, quoted in ''Place Names of the Delta of the Fraser River'', Denys Nelson, 1927, unpublished manuscript held in the Provincial Archives, quoted in BC Names entry "Brownsville (former locality)"]〕
