Fort Langley National Historic Site, Trading post in Township of Langley, Canada

The log structures and wooden palisade walls of Fort Langley National Historic Site stand on the southern bank of Fraser River, 48 kilometers from Vancouver.

Initially constructed in 1827 by the Hudson's Bay Company, Fort Langley moved to its current location in 1839 and became the birthplace of British Columbia in 1858.

The fort represents the first sustained contact between European traders and the Sto:lo people, who maintained complex social systems in the Fraser Valley.

The site opens daily from 10 AM to 5 PM, offering guided tours, exhibitions, and educational programs about fur trading and colonial British Columbia history.

Visitors can sleep inside the fort walls at oTENTik Camp, experiencing nighttime in a trading post setting while staying in modern accommodations.
