On a wall of the CIA’s Visitor Control Center at the Agency’s main entrance, there is an enlarged drawing that appeared in Frank Leslie’s Illustrated Newspaper during the Civil War. The drawing shows a small wooden building identified as “Guard House Near Langley”—a reminder that Langley, now known as McLean and the location of CIA Headquarters, once was known as the location of a Union Army outpost.
Langley is an unincorporated community in the census-designated place of McLean in Fairfax County, Virginia, United States.
The community was essentially absorbed into McLean many years ago, although there is still a Langley High School. In addition to being a bedroom community for Washington, D.C., the area is the site of the headquarters of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the headquarters of the Federal Highway Administration, and the Claude Moore Colonial Farm of the National Park Service. 'Langley' is often used as a metonym for the CIA.
