Langruth is named after its founders: Mr. George W. Langdon (1875-1958) and Mr. W. Judson Ruth. Founded in 1909, the village of Langruth is located on the west side of Lake Manitoba, Canada (Elevation: 250m. Lat: 50'40''. Long: 98'33''). The town's mascot statue is a giant blue heron which heralds the arrival of bird watchers coming to see waterbirds, shorebirds and waterfowl during the spring and fall migrations and neo-tropical songbirds on the forested ridge along Hollywood Beach where piping plovers have also been observed. It is the bird watching capital of Manitoba. The Municipality of Lakeview was incorporated in 1920 and amalgamated with Gladstone in 2014.
Google Earth lets you zoom in on Langruth and if you zoom in close enough to the ground, it will switch you to Google Street View (you may have to wait for half a minute). Then, you can use your cursor keys on the keyboard to "drive" around Langruth. If you stop periodically, you can use the left and right keys to pan the picture left and right. If you pan at an intersection to see another street, then press the up key, you will "drive" up that street. Have fun.
