Langley

Langley is a district municipality south of the Fraser River in the Greater Vancouver region that spans several hundred square kilometers. It combines residential neighborhoods, farmland, and commercial areas into a mixed landscape ranging from quieter rural sections to developed zones.

The area started as a small settlement around a trading post in the early eighteen hundreds and gradually developed into a municipality. The year 1873 marked the establishment of the current district, laying the foundation for its growth as part of Greater Vancouver.

The place draws its character from its connection to the fur trading post that shaped the region's early growth. Local events and gatherings reflect this heritage and help residents maintain a sense of continuity with the area's roots.

The area is well connected to Vancouver through the public transit system, with multiple bus routes crossing through different sections. Visitors can easily navigate the territory by using available transit options or exploring it on their own.

The territory is known for Fort Langley, a site where the region's colonial history reached a turning point. The historic place attracts visitors interested in the early European trading activities that shaped the area.
