[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone know Langley? The school has been called that since the 30s or 40s I believe.[/quote] The unincorporated community in VA where CIA headquarters is located, probably doe s not provide a clue, as that Langley was named for an estate in England: "In 1719, Thomas Lee purchased a nearly 3,000-acre tract from the sixth Lord Fairfax and named it "Langley" after his family's estate in England." https://www.cia.gov/news-information/featured-story-archive/2008-featured-story-archive/original-headquarters-building.html So, it could be named for the third director of the Smithsonian Institute, astrophysicist Samuel Pierport Langley: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Pierpont_Langley But, not sure.[/quote]
