Hunter Bertram August Vogel (August 4, 1903 – April 25, 1990) was a Canadian politician. He was the first mayor of the City of Langley, serving from March 15, 1955 to May 29, 1955.[1] He served in the British Columbia Legislative Assembly from 1963 to 1972, as a Social Credit member for the constituency of Delta (1963-1966), then Langley (1966-1972). He was born in 1903 to Hans Broder Anton Vogel, a German (Danish?) immigrant, and Anne Georgia Hunter, originally from Canada. He completed a business course from the University of Toronto via correspondence. In 1929, he married Margaret Isabel Gunn. In 1946, Vogel purchased a paint company, Cloverdale Paint. When he was elected to the legislature, he turned over the leadership of it to his son, Wink (Walter). Sons Dick (Richard) Vogel and Wink (Walter)[2] were also the owners of Mushroom Records.

By 2005, Cloverdale Paint had 65 franchises across Canada.[3] Another son, William (Bill) was a mayor of Surrey.[4] Hunter Vogel died of respiratory failure from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in 1990, aged 86.
