The town was named Langley in March 1870, at a meeting of the Board of Directors for the Langley Manufacturing Company in nearby Hamburg. The name was chosen in honor of William C. Langley of Brooklyn, New York, the company's principal stockholder. The original name was Kalmia, after the Kalmia Mills, purchased by Langley and several other stockholders. This was reported in TheAugusta Chronicle in March 1870. According to Who Was Who in America , William C. Langley was a shrewd and astute 19th-century businessman who amassed a fortune in the textile industry.^{[ citation needed ]}
