Past and Present

It was 150 years ago that British Columbia came to be, when the Hudson’s Bay Company lobbied the British Parliament to create the crown colony of British Columbia.

Langley's White House

Governor James Douglas

Governor James Douglas delivered the proclamation in the Big House at Fort Langley on November 19th, 1858. The history of Langley dates back to the mid 1800’s and is built on the province’s fur trade. The community was named after Thomas Langley, who was a Hudson Bay Company Director from 1800 to 1830.

The Fort

Fort LangleyThe Fort was a vital link in the Hudson’s Bay Company’s trading system. Their first connection was with the Coast Salish people where furs and salmon were exchanged. Eventually, produce from the rich and fertile lands of the valley became the mainstay of the company farms.
