Langelo is an esdorp which developed in the middle ages on the higher grounds. It contains two triangular communal pastures.[3] It first appeared in 1225 as Rodolphus de Langele and means "long forest".[4] In 1840, it was home to 125 people.[5]
The village is noted for several historic farms, the oldest of which dates to 1792. Society Aardolie, a huge complex that serves as a gas storage facility, is also located in the village.[6]
