About Huntingdon
Huntingdon is a borough in and county seat of Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, United States. It lies along the Juniata River about 32 miles (51 km) east of larger Altoona and 92 miles (148 km) west of the state capital of Harrisburg on the Susquehanna River. With a population of 6,827 in the 2020 U.S. Decennial Census, it is the largest population center near Raystown Lake, a winding, 28-mile-long (45 km) flood-control reservoir managed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers.
The borough is on the main line of the Norfolk Southern freight railway (formerly the longtime Pennsylvania Railroad) in an agricultural and outdoor recreational region with extensive forests and scattered deposits of ganister rock, coal, fire clay, and limestone deposits. Historically, the region surrounding Huntingdon was dotted with iron furnaces and forges, consuming limestone, iron ore and wood (for charcoal production) throughout the 19th century. Dairy farms dominate the local agriculture. The town is a regular stop for the daily east-west Amtrak passenger train service which connects Pittsburgh to the west with Philadelphia and New York City to the east and northeast. Huntingdon is also home to Juniata College (founded 1876 by the Church of the Brethren).
