In the last episode, we explored how Langley Prairie was built on connection — from the portage routes of the First Peoples to railway lines and the ambitions of early settlers.
However, it wasn’t all rainbows and sunshine for Langley Prairie property owners; they felt ignored by the Langley Council of the day, which refused to invest in basic infrastructure for their community, like sidewalks, sewer lines, and streetlights. One bold vote forever changed the map in the 1950s.
This is the story of how Langley Prairie became Langley City and its fight to have a voice.
