Welcome to Fort Langley, 

Located on the south bank of the Fraser River, Fort Langley is one of the Lower Mainland’s hidden gems. With buildings that date back 150 years from the days of the fur trade post, this pedestrian-friendly village offers residents and visitors alike all the trappings of urban life filled with character, history of BC's making, fine cuisine, fair trade coffee, boutique shopping, and riverfront living.
