Fort Langley CN Station
The Fort Langley CNoR Station (originally called "Langley") was built in 1915 using one of the Canadian Northern Railway's "third class" designs used until 1924. It was originally built approximately two blocks farther west, almost on the back of Charles Hope's property. In 1918 Canadian Northern became part of Canadian National, and the CN station was enlarged to accommodate larger living quarters for the Station Agent. The station was used full time until 1972 when it was reduced to a flag stop with passenger service being completely terminated in 1980. In 1983 the station was moved to its present location and restored by the Langley Heritage Society in cooperation with the Township of Langley. It was designated a heritage site on Feb. 27, 1984. The site now occupied by the station and Mrs. Simpson's garden was originally the home of Fort Langley's first firehall.
