Langenburg Saskatchewan Information

Langenburg /?lænd??nb??r?/ is a town (population of 1,048) in the rural municipality of Langenburg No. 181, located within the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities SARM Division No. 1 and Census Division No. 5, in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. _x000D_ Langenburg lies on the Yellowhead Highway (Highway 16) in the southeastern part of the province, 15 km west of the Manitoba border, at the junction with Highway 8. The nearest city is Yorkton located 70 km northwest along Highway 16. _x000D_ What later became the Langenburg district was surveyed by the federal government in 1880. British settlers were already established to the northeast of present-day Marchwell in the Wolverine district in the early part of the decade. Settlers of predominantly German origin began to arrive in the Langenburg area in the mid-1880s, attracted by the lure of free homesteads granted by the federal government and a promise of freedom and prosperity. The original community was called “Colony Hohenlohe” after Prince Hohenlohe von Langenburg, a German nobleman who had visited western Canada in 1883 and subsequently recommended it to German emigrants as more suitable destination than the United States. In the winter of 1886–87 the Manitoba & North-Western Railway reached the area and a station named “Langenburg” was established. By 1888 the small colony could boast of a store with a post office. A year earlier, in September 1887, the Langenburg School District No. 105 had been established but it was not until August 1889 that funds to build a school were secured. When the school house opened in May 1890 there were about 40 resident ratepayers in the community and nine students on the rolls, rising a short time later to 13._x000D_ There was little growth over the following decade. In 1899 an application to become incorporated as a village was unsuccessful—the number of permanent dwellings required for incorporation was 15 and there were only five. In 1902, however, a new wave of immigration began with Scandinavian settlers arriving from the United States, and by April 1903 Langenburg had gained its village status. _x000D_ In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Langenburg had a population of 1,228 living in 510 of its 567 total private dwellings, a change of 5.4% from its 2016 population of 1,165. With a land area of 3.38 km2 (1.31 sq mi), it had a population density of 363.3/km2 (941.0/sq mi) in 2021. _x000D_ Carlton Trail Regional Park and Golf Course is located 18 km south of Langenburg on No. 8 Highway. _x000D_ Langenburg has one education center for students: Langenburg Central School, from Pre K to 12. _x000D_ The Four-Town Journal newspaper covers Langenburg and its surrounding area. The Company was established by Bill Johnston in 1980 and was purchased by Ryan Stanko in 2019. _x000D_ The Langenburg Warriors played in the Triangle Hockey League for fourteen seasons and finished fifth in the 2018-2019 regular season. The team joined the North Central Hockey League the following season, and then moved on to the newly established Sask East Hockey League in 2020-21. _x000D_ Langenburg also has a minor ball program that fields teams from T-ball to Midget age divisions as well as a soccer program (Langenburg United Soccer Organization). Langenburg High School is home to the Langenburg Eagles competing against teams in and around the province in sports such as: Volleyball, Basketball, Track and Field, Badminton, Curling, and Golf. _x000D_ Langenburg is the hometown of Kelly Buchberger, formerly of the National Hockey League and currently the head coach of the Tri City Americans of the Western Hockey League (WHL), and Jess Moskaluke, a Canadian country pop singer who won Female Artist of the Year for the Canadian Country Music Awards in 2015. _x000D_ This information for the above chart can be found on the listing given at Canadian Geographical names or the Canadian Archives Post Office and Post Master website see external links below for helpful URLs _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langenburg,_Saskatchewan
