The Historic Borough of Huntingdon
The Borough of Huntingdon was settled in 1767 by Rev. Dr. William Smith on the ancient Indian Village of Standing Stone. He named the Borough in honor of the Countess of Huntingdon, a large benefactor of the University of Pennsylvania where Smith served as the first Provost. Smith sold deeds to early settlers, but only gave them one year to build a substantial house, otherwise the property reverted back to Smith. Huntingdon was incorporated into a borough in 1796.
