History & Stories
Murrayville's Story
Murrayville traces its origins to 1870 when Paul Murray and his sons settled at what is now Yale Road and 216th Street — a crossroads that would become the civic heart of the Township of Langley.
The community officially adopted the name 'Murrayville' in 1925 with the establishment of its post office. The area boasts one of Langley's oldest subdivisions, where several heritage houses built before 1930 still stand. Significant landmarks include the Travellers Hotel (1887) and the Murrayville Community Hall. Today, Murrayville has a designated Heritage Conservation Area with specific design guidelines protecting its historic character.
