Fisher Heights

Prior to the area being developed as a subdivision, the corner of Merivale (originally the Merivale Stone Road) and Baseline (Base Line) marked the site of the village of City View. City View exists as a neighbourhood to this day, but is located west of Merivale. The Fisher Heights subdivision itself was first developed in the 1950s, with the area continuing to be developed into the 1970s. When it existed as a police village, the boundaries of City View extended east of Merivale, and north of Capilano Drive. ==Features==
