Langham sits on Highway 16, about 35 kilometres northwest of Saskatoon. The area was first settled mostly by Mennonites, and the town began in 1904 when a rail line was built between Saskatoon and Edmonton. It was named for E. Langham, a purchasing agent for the Canadian National Railway.
The community grew quickly. Langham was declared a village in 1906 and became a town in 1907.
Today the town's economy rests on agriculture and on residents who commute to Saskatoon. Langham is known for having one of the highest numbers of churches per capita in Canada, including St. Mark Catholic, Knox United, Langham Mennonite Fellowship and others. The Langham & District Heritage Village & Museum is open from early May to September 30 and keeps the artifacts that tell the story of the town and district's development.
