Langston was settled in the 1810s, and was initially known as "Coffeetown" after the Coffee brothers, who were among the early settlers. A post office was established in 1845 with Langston Coffee as the first postmaster. In 1869, most of Coffeetown's residents moved to Texas, and the following year, James Morgan sold lots for the creation of a new town. The new town was named "Langston" after Langston Coffee.
Langston initially thrived as a river port along the Tennessee River, eventually growing to include nine stores and a blacksmith. With the rise of railroad traffic in the late 19th century and automobile traffic in the early 20th, it began to decline. The construction of Guntersville Dam by the Tennessee Valley Authority in the late 1930s flooded a significant portion, further reducing its population.
