Langley City is a compact, walkable urban centre that separated from the surrounding Township of Langley in 1955 — today a dense regional town centre with a pedestrian-oriented downtown, a Kwantlen Polytechnic University campus, and a mix of shopping, dining, and civic amenities.
Location & Boundaries
Langley City is a separately incorporated municipality of about 10 square kilometres, entirely surrounded by the Township of Langley, with the Nicomekl River running through it. Its irregular boundary follows old road and rail alignments rather than a simple grid, with Fraser Highway (formerly Old Yale Road) and Glover Road crossing the city at angles that shaped much of its street pattern.
