Community
Langham has a vibrant community. We enjoy getting together for many different community events throughout the year. Our community has the best of rural and urban life. The small town atmosphere has attracted many new residents over the past few years and is one of Langham's biggest assets. Saskatoon is very accessible from Langham. It is only a 20 minute drive on four lane highway. This makes all the conveniences, events and luxuries of urban life easily accessible. . . And yet at the end of the day we can all come Home to Rural Life in Langham.
The Town of Langham was first established around 1904 with the construction of the primary CNR rail line running north west to Edmonton. As the surrounding land was settled for farming by various ethnic groups, the town prospered. Being on a main highway and railway, several grain companies, farm equipment companies, and oil companies established businesses providing both local employment and much needed services. However, as throughout Saskatchewan, people migrated toward the cities as farms grew larger and the population of Langham, as well as its services, decreased to below 500 in the 1960's.
In 1968, the Yellowhead Highway was built with a direct line from Saskatoon to Langham on its way west. This decreased the travel time to the large urban center to only 20 minutes and attracted many people who wished to enjoy small town living with the employment and services of the city to move to Langham. Primarily young professional, trades, and business people saw this town as a good place to live and raise a family. Some have established local businesses while others would welcome local employment opportunities.
Statistically, the population has grown dramatically since the 1960's, to over 1400 in 2004, with 60% of the population less than 55 years of age. It is a young vibrant community that has a lot to offer everyone including young families and seniors. Langham has many human and physical resources from which any new business could benefit. So whether you are looking for a new place to live or starting a new business, Langham has a lot to offer you.
Come and meet the residents, the business people and see what we are talking about. We’re sure you will agree that by establishing your home and/or business here, you and your employees and families will have an enjoyable lifestyle. For more information contact
