Milner Elementary School

The original Milner School was built in the early 1900's as a one room structure located on Johnston Townline Road (216th Street) just south of Medd Road (64th Avenue). The Milner Elementary School as it stands in 2003 at 6656 Glover Road was constructed in 1914 by Mr. Owen Hughes. Changes through the years have included the addition of a principal's office, a gymnasium, a medical room, and a portable classroom.
The school closed in the 1980s due to declining pupils and was later turned into the Milner Education Centre.

Mufford family

Thomas Prior Mufford, his wife, and their children arrived in Langley, B.C., in 1885 from the goldfields of California, their original destination when they left Cornwall, England, in 1873. They settled on the north end of the Hudson's Bay Company Farm in Fort Langley. Thomas Prior Mufford's brother and his wife, Joseph and Ann (nee Francis) Mufford, ended up settling in Langley, too.
