Langley was founded by Jacob Anthes, a German who moved to and bought land
in the area in 1881. In 1890, he gave his land to the newly-formed Langley
Land and Improvement Company, which officially founded the town of Langley
in 1891. A dock was soon built, along with a general store and post office
run by Jacob Anthes. In 1898, the school district was founded.
</p>
<p>
Langley was incorporated as a self-governing town in 1913, and a fire station
and a jail were soon constructed.

The annual Welcome the Whales festival in April and the
<a href="https://www.orcanetwork.org/langley-whale-center">Langley Whale Center</a>

and humpbacks can sometimes be seen.
