Parent Counties: Formed from Bedford County 20 September 1787.[2]
County Seat: Huntingdon
Neighboring Counties: Huntingdon County residents may also have records in:[3]
Named (in a technical sense) for a former Huntingdon Township of Bedford County, named in turn for the village of Huntingdon. Rev. William Smith of Philadelphia, a land speculator, laid out a town "at Standing Stone on Juniata" in 1767 and provided the name. The best supposition is that he had in mind the geographical position of shire towns in England (Bedford and Huntingdon) which suggests the locations of those two towns in Penn's Colony. A persistent legend found in many sources that has him naming his town plat for a famous contemporary, Selina Hastings, Countess of Huntingdon, is denied by his biographers and descendants. The two were of quite opposite religious persuasions within the Church of England and apparently never met each other.
- Nearly everyone in Huntingdon County speaks English as a first language. The dominant form of speech in Huntingdon County is the Central Pennsylvania accent. In Kishacoquillas Valley, where many Amish and Mennonite people live, Pennsylvania German is spoken by the bilingual population.
Description
It's county seat is Huntingdon and was founded September 20, 1787. It is located in the Southwest corner of the state. [4]
Boundary Changes
- 26 March 1804: Cambria County was set off from one part of Huntingdon County along with other parts from Bedford and Somerset Counties.
- 26 February 1846: Significant parts of both Huntingdon and Bedford Counties were taken to create Blair County. This was the last and most significant change to take place in the geography of the Central Pennsylvania region.
