Langenthal, Protected municipality in Oberaargau district, Switzerland
Langenthal spans across 21 square kilometers of varied terrain, combining residential neighborhoods, industrial zones, and agricultural lands at 481 meters elevation.
The settlement's history traces to 861 as 'marcha in Langatun', developing from agricultural lands near the Langete River into a market town by 1571.
The town maintains strong ceramic production traditions and holds regular markets that bring together local artisans, farmers, and community members throughout the year.
Four railway stations connect Langenthal to major Swiss cities, while the municipality offers educational facilities from kindergarten through secondary levels.
The municipality expanded recently through the merger with Obersteckholz in 2021, strengthening its position as an economic center in the Oberaargau region.
