The reserve is under the administration of the Semiahmoo First Nation, which is the band government of the Semiahmoo people, a North Straits Salish-speaking subgroup of the Coast Salish. Currently the people of Semiahmoo's chief is Harley Chappell (since 2017).
The Semiahmoo Reserve was established by the Canadian government in 1887.
