The village was first mentioned in 1315 as Utresuagh, and means "long meadow with caddle". Lange (long) has been added to distinguish from Kortezwaag [nl].[4] Kortezwaag was annexed by Gorredijk in 1962 and is now a neighbourhood.[5] The Dutch Reformed church was built in 1781 as a replacement of an medieval church.

Langezwaag was home to 956 people in 1840.[6]
