The Town of Langenburg is an active and vibrant community located on Trans-Canada Highway 16, only 10 minutes from the Manitoba border. Incorporated as a town in 1959, it has a deep and interesting history. The district was first surveyed by the federal government in 1880. Around 1886, the train station was named "Langenburg" after the town of Langenburg in Germany following the Prince of Hohenlohe-Langenburg's visit to western Canada and his recommendation that the area was suitable for a German settlement.
During the summer months, the new outdoor swimming pool, three new playground areas, the walking trail, Tourist Rest Area, and golf course are fun places to check out.
