- As the hub of area mining business, Huntington was almost called Coal Town. But when J.B. Huntington, a well-liked mine superintendent, was killed when his horse jumped from the Cherokee Creek bridge, it was decided to name the town for him.
- Like so many others, this was once a booming coal mining community growing like no other in the area with a population of 1700 at its peak around 1910.
- Today, Huntington once again stands at a crossroads in its development with many people shunning big city living for the essentials of a small town life. Located just 26 miles south of Fort Smith, Huntington is the perfect place for families longing to get away from the pitfalls of living in the city.
