Husband is a small, quiet place in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, United States. It's known as an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and businesses that isn't officially a town or city with its own local government. Instead, it's part of a larger county.

History of Husband

The community of Husband got its name from an important early settler named Harmon Husband. He was a pioneer, which means he was one of the first people to explore and settle in this area.

A post office was opened in Husband in 1884. Post offices were very important back then because they were the main way people sent and received letters and packages. This post office served the community for many years before it closed in 1903.
