A little known fact about Pitt Meadows is that dial telephones were first tested here. According to pioneer resident William Mitchell “The B.C. Telephone Company wanted a place near Vancouver to test them before putting them into general use. My cousin Robert Mitchell, who worked for the B.C. Tel [ephone Company] at the time was asked to oversee the testing here”.
