Langdon, Alberta

Langdon is a hamlet in southern Alberta, Canada under the jurisdiction of Rocky View County.

At an elevation of 1,005 meters (3,297 ft), Langdon is located 12 kilometers (7 mi) east of the City of Calgary at the intersection of Highways 560 (Glenmore Trail) and 797, 6.4 kilometers (4 mi) south of the Trans Canada Highway and 6.5 kilometers (4 mi) north of Highway 22X.

The hamlet is located in census division No. 6 and in the federal riding of Crowfoot.

Langdon is one of the fastest growing hamlets in the Calgary Region and Alberta.

History

Langdon was named for R.B. Langdon of Langdon & Shepard, Canadian Pacific Railway subcontracting firm who built a section of the line just east of Calgary. Both the Langdon and Shepard stations took their names from these men. Langdon was one of two people to turn the first sod in the settlement in 1882. A year later, a railway station was set up in a boxcar and named after him.

A post office was established on January 1, 1890. By the year 1905, Langdon and nearby Cheadle were of equal size, and were both important stops along the CPR rail line.

The community of Langdon became known as the “good luck town” because in the twenty-five years between 1883 and 1908, there was not one death. It was also considered lucky because it was situated on the railroad�s horseshoe shaped turnaround.

After a long period of stagnation, Langdon began to grow again in the 1990s and 2000s, with a number of major residential developments under way. This is due to its proximity to Calgary, and like other towns near Calgary, it is becoming a bedroom community.

A new commercial development currently under construction is being designed as a reconstruction of the way Langdon's main street looked in 1908.

Amenities

Due to its close proximity to Calgary, Langdon has been rather slow in developing its local amenities. However, it now boasts most of the basic needs of a community its size, including the well utilized Langdon School (K-8), a bakery/deli, pharmacy, gas station/grocery store, various restaurants, and other assorted merchants.

As of 2007 Langdon also has a golf course in its borders. Boulder Creek Golf Course is located at the southern edge of the hamlet.
