Huntington is a small place in Emmet County, Iowa, in the United States. It's known as an "unincorporated community." This means it's a settlement that doesn't have its own local government, unlike a city or town. Instead, it's managed as part of the larger county.
A Look Back: Huntington's Beginning
Huntington started in 1899. This was after the Minneapolis & St. Louis railroad built its tracks through the area. Railroads were very important back then. They helped transport goods and people across the country. When a railroad came through, it often led to new communities forming nearby. People would settle there to work on the railroad or to use it for trade.
