Description
Building Yale Road.
People/Subject
Old Yale Road
In the beginning it was a sleigh route. Serious construction started on it in 1872. The Langley Municipality in 1874 requested and received money from the province to make it suitable for buggy traffic through Langley. It was not in good condition until 1897 - 1898 when it was gravelled. In 1922 the first two mile section of the road was cemented between Langley Prairie and Murrayville. The cement was laid by A. B. Palmer Co, who stamped the date in the pavement at the end of each day.
