This modest cemetery is located about 1.6 kilometers east of Aldergrove, at 28417 Fraser Highway. Traditionally, Aberdeen served the community of Aldergrove in the Township of Langley as well as residents on the Abbotsford (and prior to amalgamation, the Matsqui) side of the municipal border.


Aberdeen was established sometime in the 1880s, based on the dates of the earliest gravestones, but it may in fact be older as Aldergrove was settled at an earlier date with a number of pioneer families represented in this cemetery.


One notable interment is that of Charles Hill-Tout (1858- 1944). Born in England and educated at Oxford University, he was an early Abbotsford settler, who ran a local mill, and was also renowned for his pioneering ethnographic and anthropological field work among the Salish people.


Aberdeen Cemetery also includes Veteran graves, and is part of the Maple Leaf Legacy Project for Veteran graves.
