The British Columbia Electric Railway's interurban passenger service for the Fraser Valley, B.C., area came through Langley in 1910. The company was building rail lines into Langley as early as 1906, when they signed an agreement with Langley government. The company itself began as a merger of the National Electric Tramway and Lighting Company (Victoria), Vancouver Electric Railway and Light Company Ltd., and Vancouver & Westminster Tramway Company, and was responsible for hydroelectric power generation, power transmission, and electric rail lines on Vancouver Island and in Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. All three companies had gone into receivership in 1895, and the BCER was met with receivership in 1896, following the Point Ellice Bridge Disaster in Victoria. The company was only able to survive through assistance from London financers, and began operations in 1897 as an English-owned company. A station built at 240 St. in the general area formerly known as Harmsworth in Langley was named after Rochfort Henry Sperling, general manager of the B.C. Electric Company, and the area subsequently came to be known as Sperling community. In 1910, a substation was built at Coghlan, and still stands (2021). The substation stepped the voltage from the power transmission lines down for use by the trains passing through. It did not provide power to the surrounding community. Interurban passenger services on the B.C.E.R's Fraser Valley Line ceased in 1950. The company ended all service in 1958, and broke up into the branches it is modernly: BC Hydro, Translink, and BC Transit.

This station was names after Alfred Charles Harmondsworth, first Baron Northcliffe, and was originally located 34.2 miles from Vancouver on the BCER line at Livingstone Road (232 Street). Passenger serviceby the interurban electric tram was begun on October 3, 1910, and the station was in use until service ceased on September 30, 1950. At that time, it was one of two or three BCER stations purchased by Cornelius and Katherine Kaetler, who had them placed on their property at 7219 Telegraph Trail. It was later purchased by the Langley Heritage Society. One (the Norris Station) was taken to Langley Secondary School. The Harmsworth Station remains in storage, under the care of the Langley Heritage Society. It's address (7219 Telegraph Trail) is not its original location. It refers to where it was located in 1982. The other one or two stations purchased by the couple fell into disrepair and were demolished.

During the presbyterian ministry of Reverend Alexander Tait in the late 1880's this site was donated by Henry Mutrie for the construction of a new church. The lumber was obtained from a mill located two miles to the east. The name for th church is taken from the Song of solomon, chapter1, verse 2, "I am the rose of sharon and the lily of the valleys". In 1925, with the unification of the church, this became the home of the united congregation; those that remained presbyterian constructed a new church on 216A Street. A new entry has been added to the simple form of the church, and a new hall built at the rear. It is, however, a well maintained local area landmark and provides the community with important link to it first settlement.
