Huntington Station, NY Background

"Originally, the Indians called this area Ketawomoke supposedly meaning “where the sea flows.” There are many theories as to why the first settlers changed the name from Ketawomoke to Huntington but it is generally agreed that they named it in honor of Oliver Cromwell who was born in Huntingdon, Huntingdonshire, England. Town records do show they did originally spell the name of the town with a “d” and later substituted a “t”.

The first post office in what we now call Huntington Station was in the Railroad Station House and was established July 24, 1890 and the area was originally named “Fairground.”On August 12, 1912 an application was made to change the name of the post office and with it the name of the growing community became known as “Huntington Station”."
