Langriville was created a township in 1812 near a ferry over the River Witham called Langrick Ferry (now Langrick village) from which the parish has taken its name.

It was said by Pishy Thompson in his History and Antiquities of Boston, that the name probably came from "Long Creek" as it was the largest and longest creek in the fen, where about a mile north of the present village of Langrick there was a sluice erected in 1543.
