History

The community of Huntingdale got its start a long time ago. A post office was opened there in 1856. A post office was very important back then because it was how people sent and received letters, news, and even packages. It often served as a central meeting spot for the community. This post office stayed open for many years, finally closing its doors in 1907.

The name "Huntingdale" comes from the area itself. It was named because it was a good place for hunting, especially near where the original community was first settled.
