Langley has been home to the [[Snohomish people]] since [[time immemorial]]. For centuries, people came to the site of Langley to camp during the summer months, and there was a village nearby at Sandy Point ({{Langx|lut|č̓əč̓ɬqs|links=no}}), which, as of 1792, was inhabited by about 200 people; however, the Snohomish were removed to the [[Tulalip Tribes#Reservation|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.

Langley is served by South Whidbey Fire/Emergency Medical Services, the Langley Police Department, and [[South Whidbey School District|South Whidbey School District #206]]; the school district offices are located there.

==History==

=== Pre-contact ===
Indigenous peoples, namely the [[Snohomish people]], have inhabited south Whidbey Island since [[time immemorial]].<ref name="SWHS">{{Cite web |title=Native Peoples |url=https://southwhidbeyhistory.org/special-topics/the-native-peoples/ |access-date=November 14, 2023 |website=South Whidbey Historical Society}}</ref> Langley is known in the [[Lushootseed|Lushootseed language]] as {{Langx|lut|sc̓q̓abac|label=none}},{{Efn|also spelled sc̓əq̓abac or c̓əq̓abac}} meaning "gooseberry bush."<ref name="Dictionary" /><ref name="Waterman" />

The site of Langley was a camping spot used during clam harvesting in the summer months.<ref name="Tweddell1953" /> Nearby, there was a village of the {{Langx|lut|dəgʷasx̌abš|label=none}}, a Snohomish band, approximately one mile east of Langley on Sandy Point ({{Langx|lut|č̓əč̓ɬqs|links=no}}).{{Efn|meaning "ripped nose"}}<ref name="Dictionary" /><ref name="Waterman" /><ref name="Tweddell1953" /> This village had a large [[potlatch]] house, which brought visitors, even as distant as the [[Samish people|Samish]], during festivities.<ref name="SWHS" />

For centuries, warfare was uncommon in Puget Sound, and mainly retaliatory in nature. The main dangers to the Snohomish at the time were the [[Haida people|Haida]] and other Northwest Coast peoples, who traveled in large war canoes from the far north to raid and pillage along the southern coasts.<ref name="Suttles-1990">{{Cite book |last1=Suttles |first1=Wayne |title=Southern Coast Salish |last2=Lane |first2=Barbara |publisher=Smithsonian Institution |year=1990 |series=Handbook of North American Indians |volume=7 |pages=485–502}}</ref>

In the 18th and 19th centuries, smallpox epidemics rocked the Northwest Coast, killing 90 percent of the population. In 1792, the village at {{Langx|lut|č̓əč̓ɬqs|label=none}} was seen by [[Joseph Whidbey]], who noted that the population seemed to be about 200 people.<ref name="SWHS" /> Later, the village would be abandoned in the late 1800s after the removal of the Snohomish people to the [[Tulalip|Tulalip Reservation]].

=== American settlement ===
Langley was founded in the 1890s by Jacob Anthes,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.langleywa.org/visitors/history_of_langley.php |title=History of Langley |access-date=December 17, 2020}}</ref> and was named for J.W. Langley of Seattle.<ref>{{cite book |last=Meany |first=Edmond S. |title=Origin of Washington geographic names |url=https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015027074981;view=1up;seq=158 |year=1923 |publisher=University of Washington Press |location=Seattle |page=142}}</ref> In 1902, Anthes built a logger bunkhouse that still stands in the downtown core (now functioning as the South Whidbey Historical Society Museum).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://southwhidbeyhistory.org/join/about-us/the-south-whidbey-historical-society-museum-logger-bunk-house/|title=The South Whidbey Historical Society Museum Logger Bunk House &#124; South Whidbey Historical Society}}</ref> Langley was officially incorporated on February 26, 1913.

In the late 1900s, a number of [[4H Club|4H]] [[rabbit]]s escaped their enclosures at the Island County Fair and went on to thrive as a large [[feral]] population initially residing around the county fairgrounds and later spreading throughout Langley and south Whidbey Island.<!-- <ref>[https://www.change.org/p/langley-city-council-fred-mccarthy-compassion-for-langley-bunnies-on-whidbey-island https://www.change.org/p/langley-city-council-fred-mccarthy-compassion-for-langley-bunnies-on-whidbey-island]</ref> --> In the 2010s the rabbits became a controversial issue in local politics, with citizens and groups advocating for public policy positions from removal and relocation to eradication. Some favored controlling the rabbit population using [[Bird of prey|raptor]]s, while others advocated for a more lenient position of community acceptance.<ref name="nbc20150907">{{Cite web|url=https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/hundreds-bunnies-plague-langley-washington-n429186|title=Hundreds of Bunnies Have Overrun This Washington City|website=[[NBC News]] |date=September 17, 2015 }}</ref><ref name="seattletimes20151007">{{Cite web|url=https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/northwest/its-not-cute-anymore-bunny-brouhaha-as-langley-is-overrun-with-rabbits/|title='It's not cute anymore': Bunny brouhaha as Langley is overrun with rabbits|date=October 7, 2015}}</ref><ref name="swr20170408">[http://www.southwhidbeyrecord.com/news/rabbits-raid-langley-city-hall-garden-but-overall-population-appears-to-be-on-the-decline/ Rabbits raid Langley City Hall garden, but overall population appears to be on the decline], South Whidbey Record, April 4, 2017, accessed September 13, 2019.</ref><ref name="swr20180113">[http://www.southwhidbeyrecord.com/news/langleys-rabbit-discussion-returns-port-weighs-options/ Langley's rabbit discussion returns; Port weighs options], South Whidbey Record, January 13, 2018, accessed September 13, 2019.</ref>

=== The Olympic Club ===
The Dog House was opened in 1908 as an elite [[gentlemen's club]] called "The Olympic Club". However, on opening night the founder realized that he didn't have enough money to pay the entertainers, so he left town with all the money.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Historical Langley – 230 First St |url=http://ww2.whidbey.net/scharwat/data/house230.html |access-date=2023-07-16 |website=ww2.whidbey.net}}</ref> Over the years, the building has acted as host to many businesses.

During the [[Prohibition in the United States|Prohibition]] era, the building was host to underground boxing and wrestling matches which were illegal on the mainland.

When Prohibition ended, the club became a public bar, and operated as a restaurant and bar until its closure in 2008.<ref>{{Cite web |title=PCAD – Olympic Building, Langley, WA |url=https://pcad.lib.washington.edu/building/14353/ |access-date=2023-07-16 |website=pcad.lib.washington.edu}}</ref> The Clyde Theatre began in the top floor of this building.
