1. Lang and District Marker
The call of the West lured settlers to this virgin plains before the turn of the century. This district provided many opportunities, so pioneers with spirits of adventure came from Eastern Canada, U. S. A. and Europe.
On June 9, 1906 the Village of Lang was established and named for the official of the C. P. R. who had surveyed the townsite.
The community respectfully dedicates this plaque to the pioneers of yesterday, the citizens of today and the generations of tomorrow.
