Huntington Woods History

Early native and American settlers inhabited the area prior to the first land grant being awarded in 1824 to J. Lockwood. From 1824 to 1916 about nine area families used the rich land for farming. This area was originally part of Royal Oak Township. In 1926, the community was incorporated as the Village of Huntington Woods and named after the town of Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire County, England. As the Village grew and expanded it was incorporated as the city of Huntington Woods in 1932. The city continues to flourish due to the hometown atmosphere.
