The City of Surrey is more like a County in the United States than a city in that it really has several individual communities within its boundaries. Like a city in the United States, it is governed by a Mayor and council.

You can click here or on the map to see a larger version.

Don’t be confused by us acting like there are individual cities inside Surrey. There is only one governmental entity, the City of Surrey and Cloverdale is only a neighborhood of Surrey. The thing is, if you ask a local where Cloverdale is he will give you directions and act like it is a city. Cloverdale feels like a city in that it has a central business core with surrounding residential areas. You will find traffic signs that point to Cloverdale. They even keep track of the population of Cloverdale, it is around 17,000 and growing rapidly. To add to the appearance that Cloverdale is a city, it even has its own Chamber of Commerce. We have links to the Chamber in our Recommended Attractions section below.
