I can't help you with the history but there really is a place, that used
to be a town many, many years ago called "Langley." It predates by far
McLean and other place names in the area.

It was at the intersection of Turkey Run Rd. and Georgetown Pike and up
Turkey Run Rd toward the river. I haven't been through there in some
time but there may still be a store/gas station at the intersection on
the south side of Geotwn. Pike. I was told that this building dated
from the late 18th or early 19th centruy (it looked it too). Get an
Alexandria Drafting Co. map of NoVa and look at map coordinate 9A5.
These are the big maps you can buy at 7-11's and book stores for about
$10 and are the same as the maps realtors use, very handy for locating
places.
