Fort Langley National Historic Site
The Fort Langley National Historic Site is the original settlement of an influential Hudson’s Bay Company trading post, established over 150 years ago. Originally trading fur, produce, salmon and cranberries with local First Nations, it fast became a major point of foreign trade due to its strategic location on the Fraser River. Fort Langley also played a significant part in shaping Canadian history. In the face of American competition, it was here that British Columbia was declared a Crown Colony by the first Governor of British Columbia, James Douglas, in 1858.
In 1886, as a result of strong local competition, Fort Langley ceased operation as a Hudson’s Bay Company post. Resurrected as a National Historic Site in 1923, the present-day reconstruction of Fort Langley offers visitors a fascinating insight into its past. Detailed reconstructions and original buildings, costumed interpreters, interactive displays, demonstrations and stories eagerly and accurately bring Fort Langley back to life.
Open year round, The Fort Langley National Historic Site is wheelchair accessible and features a Visitor Orientation Centre, gift shop, picnic areas, washrooms and free parking.
Address: 23433 Mavis Ave. Fort Langley BC CAN V1M 2R5
