    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.

    Langley was incorporated as a self-governing town in 1913, and a fire station
    and a jail were soon constructed.
