Bridge over the Anderson River

The river is presumably named after Alexander Caulfield Anderson of the Hudson's Bay Company who traveled through the region in 1847–48. [1]

The Anderson River originates near Coquihalla Pass and flows generally west and north, joining the Fraser River in the Fraser Canyon, near Boston Bar.
