Langford is a suburb of Perth, Western Australia, located within the City of Gosnells. Its postcode is 6147.
Langford was named after William Henry Langford, a long-serving local councillor and chairman of the Gosnells Road Board.[1] The Shire of Gosnells submitted the name in September 1966, having chosen it in consultation with the State Housing Commission. The name was approved in January 1967. It is a working-class residential suburb located approximately 11km (07miles) from Perth's central business district. Langford has historically had social problems.[2] Originally established as public housing, much has now been redeveloped or renovated and sold to private owners. Langford is served by the major arterial roads Roe Highway and Albany Highway; schools including Brookman Primary School, St Judes Catholic School, and Langford Islamic College; several churches; a sporting complex; and the Langford Village Shopping Centre, which includes restaurants, tavern, delicatessen and pharmacy.[3]
