As best I can tell, Huntington was a railroad village. Located southeast of Americus, it had a post office from 1889-1934. It was likely named for Charles Allen Huntington Sr., (1828-1896), a New York-born businessman who served in the Confederacy and became a prominent businessman in the area. He served as president of the Sheffield-Huntington Company and was active in numerous civic pursuits in late-19th-century Sumter County.

This brick shotgun form building, which appears to have had some sort of commercial use, along with a fine Victorian home next door, are the only historic buildings remaining in the area.
