The Forest Grove subdivision in Burnaby was developed during the early 1980s and resulted in a rapidly growing population that required a school facility to support this "instant" community. Forest Grove Elementary was the second largest elementary school in the city when it opened and 374 pupils were recorded in its first year.

Heritage Value
After considering several sites in the Greater Vancouver area, the Shell Oil Company chose 70 acres in North Burnaby with frontage of one third of a mile on Burrard Inlet. Shell proposed to build a four-million dollar plant that would employ up to 2000 - providing some relief in the middle of Burnaby's economic crisis of the Depression years. The site became known as the Shellburn Refinery and was in operation until 1993.
