Mayfair is a township located on central Lulu Island, halfway between Richmond and Queensborough in South Fraser County, Lower Mainland. The township includes most farmland and rural areas of Lulu Island, with all other such areas belonging to one of the other three incorporated municipalities of the island; as such, there remain no unincorporated areas on Lulu Island. Mayfair is by far the smallest of Lulu Island's four municipalities, with an estimated 2020 population of 17,750; the population is a little high for a farming community, but the various towns and hamlets interspersed amongst the farmland, as well as the advanced greenhouse and factory farming methods used by much of the township's industry, more workers and investors were attracted to settle in the township than is usually the case for rural farming communities of its geographical size.
