Biography


Langdon was born in Somerset, England, and arrived in Melbourne in 1853.
He elected as a member of the Marong Shire Council in 1871, serving as president from 1877 until 1879. He also served on Swan Hill Shire Council.
In 1880, Langdon was elected to the Victorian Legislative Assembly as the member for Avoca. When the seat was abolished in 1889, he attempted to win the new seat of Korong, but was unsuccessful. He also unsuccessfully contested Dunolly at a by-election the following year.
At the 1892 election, Langdon contested Korong again, and this time was successful. Langdon joined the Bent ministry in 1907. This meant a by-election had to be held in his seat, however he contested and was re-elected. Langdon left Bent's United Liberal Party in 1908, joining the Liberal Party.
Langdon died in 1914, aged 82. The by-election in Korong was won by Achilles Gray.
