HISTORY
Founded in 1891, Langley is a historic seaside village located on the southeastern tip of Whidbey Island. Originally a logging and farming town, it soon developed into a key shipping port due to its access to Saratoga Passage. Named after settler Jacob Anthes’ business partner, Judge J.W. Langley, the town gradually became known for its picturesque setting and artistic character. Over the years, Langley attracted writers, artists, and craftsmen, evolving into a vibrant cultural community while preserving much of its historic architecture and small-town charm.
