== History ==
The City of Langford was officially incorporated on December 8, 1992.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=City of Langford - Home )〕 Langford boasts a long history of European settlement dating back to 1851, when Captain Edward Langford〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Biography – LANGFORD, EDWARD EDWARDS – Volume XII (1891-1900) – Dictionary of Canadian Biography )〕 established one of the four Hudson's Bay Company farms in the Victoria area. In the early 1860s, the region of Langford experienced a short-lived gold rush in what is now Goldstream Provincial Park.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Goldstream Provincial Park )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The gold rush at Goldstream, BC )〕 The area was once a favourite recreation destination for thousands of Victorians in the late 1800s: day-trippers travelled via railway to the popular country resort Goldstream House Hotel;〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dunsmuir's Inaugural Train Trip - Goldstream Hotel - Old Langford excerpt )〕 hunters built their lodges on the shores of the lakes near the mountains; and a summer colony of the well-to-do city folk relaxed and socialized at Langford Lake.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Old Langford - An Illustrated History - Maureen Duffus )〕 In recent times, the region has become the fastest growing little city on Vancouver Island, with big retail stores and new residential developments, and the expanding suburban town of Langford became a city in 2003. The motto of Langford is “Golden in setting, determined in Spirit” containing a reference to the natural beauty of the City of Langford, specifically Goldstream Provincial Park, and a comment on the community's drive to enhance Langford's special character and future.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=City of Langford - Coat of Arms )〕
