Clayburn Village is located at the foot of Sumas Mountain, east of the 
Abbotsford-Mission highway, and owes its existence to a seam of 
high-quality fire clay that was discovered late in the last century. 
John Charles Maclure, the brother of the renowned architect Samuel 
Maclure, founded the company in 1905. With the architectural and 
planning expertise of his brother, he quickly established a townsite - 
the first company town in British Columbia - and connected it via a 
narrow gauge railway line to the Canadian Pacific Railway’s system and 
the wider world.

Clayburn Village is a wonderful place to stroll and contemplate the 
past. Think ahead ... and plan your summer visit to historic Clayburn 
Village in Abbotsford, British Columbia.
