In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Langdon like this:
LANGDON, a place in the uplands of Durham, near the boundary with Yorkshire; 7 miles N W by W of Middleton-in-Teesdale. It has an inn, and offers a retreat to tourists passing on from High Force to Caldron Snout. A streamlet running past it to the Tees, is called Langdon-beck; and a contiguous large expanse of upland is called Langdon-beck Common.
Langdon is now part of COUNTY DURHAM Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how COUNTY DURHAM has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Langdon itself, go to Statistics.
