Lang and Co. was founded in 1852 by Max Lang during the Northern California Gold Rush. Lang and Co. formed the National Grocery Company in 1902, which became a major wholesale grocery distribution company for the Pacific Northwest.

Under the guidance of 23-year-old Richard E. Lang, the company grew into a multi-branch, statewide chain of wholesale outlets during the Great Depression. Lang and Co. then became widely diversified with the development of Seattle's first-ever indoor shopping mall and the distribution of Olympia Beer with its partner, at that time, former Washington Governor Albert D. Rossellini.

Recognizing the changes in the food and spirit business, Richard E. Lang changed Lang and Co. from a family-controlled business to a closed-end investment company. This forged a solid base for continual growth, benefitting its members and investors. May, 1981 this growth culminated with a merge with Safeco Income Fund.
