Blast from the Past: 1931 British Columbia Census
It may be hard to believe, but Creston was once larger (in population) than Abbotsford?! That's right! The 1931 British Columbia Census shows the Village of Abbotsford was once a mere 510 people, compared to the Village of Creston's 695 person population. Quite a blast from the past, especially given the 2011 Canadian Census figures showing a much larger disparity between the population of Abbotsford (133,497) compared to the Town of Creston (5,306). When glancing at this photo, you can see just how British Columbia has evolved over the past 82 years. To see a larger photo, please click HERE (via @TownofCreston/Twitter).
