George Langley (November 10, 1852 – August 26, 1933[1]) was an English-born farmer and political figure in Saskatchewan. He represented Redberry from 1905 to 1921 and Cumberland from 1921 to 1922 in the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan as a Liberal. He was born in Essex and came to Canada in 1893, settling near Rosthern, Saskatchewan. Langley later established a farm in the Maymont area. He served on the executive of the Saskatchewan Grain Growers Association from 1910 to 1917 and also was a member of the executive for the Saskatchewan Cooperative Elevator Company, serving as president from 1921 to 1924. He was also a strong supporter of the Canadian Wheat Board. Langley was defeated when he ran for reelection in 1921 but was elected in a deferred election for Cumberland held later that year.[1] He served in the provincial cabinet as Minister of Municipal Affairs from 1912 to 1921.[1] Langley resigned from cabinet in 1921 at the request of Premier William Martin after Langley attempted to put pressure on a Saskatchewan magistrate. He resigned from the assembly in 1922. He ran unsuccessfully as an independent Liberal in 1929.[2] Langley died on his farm near Maymont at the age of 60.[1] References1. ^1 {{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1946&dat=19330828&id=ySsvAAAAIBAJ&sjid=SagFAAAAIBAJ&pg=4559,3173536 |title=Former Minister Dies |newspaper=Montreal Gazette |date=August 8, 1928 |page=11 |accessdate=2012-03-09}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Langley, George}}{{Saskatchewan-politician-stub}}2. ^1 2 {{cite encyclopedia |url=http://esask.uregina.ca/entry/langley_george_1852-1933.html |title=Langley, George (1852–1933) |encyclopedia=Encyclopedia of Saskatchewan |first=Brett |last=Quiring |accessdate=2012-03-09}} 3 : Saskatchewan Liberal Party MLAs|1852 births|1933 deaths |
