About Langley , BC
The first settlers of Langley City were called "Innes Corners" they later changed the name to "Langley Prairie." Langley Prairie became the City of Langley on March 15, 1955.
The city is named after Thomas Langley, a famous Hudson's Bay Company director. Langley is considered to be the formal birthplace of British Columbia. The colony of BC was first publicly announced here, at Fort Langley, although the capital shifted to New Westminster, before settling at Victoria on Vancouver Island.
The land was swampy, and with mosquitoes during summer, early settlers cleared trees, cultivated the land and seasonally hunted and fished for wild game. You can still see this as you walk along the border of Surrey and Langley.
The Hudson's Bay Company started to grow in the 1830s. The company farmed about 810 hectares of the region in Langley Prairie. Currently, Langley has approximately 40 percent of the total farming land in the Fraser Valley. Today, Langley has the highest number of horse farms, rabbit farms, mushroom farms, and sheep.
