<strong>Langley</strong> (<strong>Images</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>America</strong>) (Robert E. Waterman) The town <strong>of</strong> <strong>Langley</strong>, tagged “Village by the Sea,?? is perched on a low bluff near the southern end <strong>of</strong> Whidbey Island in Puget Sound. Town founder Jacob Anthes first purchased land here at age 15, helped plat the town in 1891, and built a wharf. As new families arrived, First Street filled with businesses and homes, and the town was incorporated in 1913. Fishing resorts sprang up, but when the passenger ferry service shifted from <strong>Langley</strong> to Clinton, the town languished. During the 1970s, an influx <strong>of</strong> young artists and hippies arrived with an appreciation <strong>of</strong> the area’s unspoiled natural setting. Today, <strong>Langley</strong> <strong>of</strong>fers a quiet, <strong>of</strong>f-the-main-highway lifestyle with seaside beauty and the cultural stimuli <strong>of</strong> theater, art, and music.<br />
