About Langley
City in Washington, United StatesLangley is a city in Island County, Washington, United States. It sits at the south end of Whidbey Island, overlooking Saratoga Passage. The 2020 census, the population increased to 1,147 people. Langley proper only covers 0.8 square miles (2.1 km2), but its ZCTA extends for 26.20 square miles (67.9 km2). Snohomish people historically camped near the modern-day site of Langley and had a village at Sandy Point. They were removed to the Tulalip Reservation in the late 1800s, and the village was abandoned. The modern settlement of Langley was founded in the 1890s by Jacob Anthes, and the town was incorporated in 1913.
