'''Langley''' is the name for the '''Township of Langley'''[http://www.tol.bc.ca/] and the '''City of Langley'''[http://www.city.langley.bc.ca/], nestled together in the Fraser Valley of British Columbia, Canada. We cover them both in this article.

Understand

The Township of Langley runs from the bank of the Fraser River to the US border in the south. To the west is Surrey, to the east is Abbotsford. The small historical town of Fort Langley is just to the Township's north, also on the south bank of the Fraser River, and it has its own article. To the north of the river, across the Albion Ferry, are Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge.
