Murrayville

MURRAYVILLE, formerly Murray's Corners, is an AGRICULTURAL and residential suburb of LANGLEY municipality 25 km southeast of NEW WESTMINSTER. It was named after Paul Murray, who settled here in 1874 and built a hotel on the old YALE Road. A SAWMILL and store were established in the 1880s. The community was the commercial centre of Langley in the early 1900s and site of the municipal hall and high school before economic power shifted to LANGLEY PRAIRIE.
