Langston was founded on April 22, 1890, by Edward P. McCabe, an African-American political figure from Kansas. McCabe helped lead a migration of black settlers from southern U.S. states who hoped to escape discrimination by creating a majority-black state in what was then the Territory of Oklahoma. He named the town for John Mercer Langston, a black member of the 51st United States Congress from Virginia.
McCabe used traveling salesmen and African-American newspapers to advertise lots for sale in Langston, and the deeds which accompanied the sale of these lots stipulated that their re-sale could only be to other African-Americans.Langston was an all black town, one of fifty identifiable black towns and settlements created in Oklahoma between 1865 to 1920.By 1891, Langston had a population of 200, which included a preacher, doctor, and schoolteacher.

The town had a telephone system in service in 1895.
