Huntingdon County

Huntingdon County is an administrative division in central Pennsylvania that spreads across rolling terrain and forested land. The territory is home to a large lake and sits within the broader Appalachian region.

The area was established as an independent administrative district in 1787 after separating from a larger county. This new division allowed better governance as the population in the region grew.

The college established in the county seat has shaped education and learning in the region for generations. The institution remains woven into the daily life of the community it calls home.

The county is served by several school districts that support students across different communities. Visitors should check locally for what attractions are accessible and how best to reach them.

The large lake within the territory is entirely contained within its borders, making it a remarkable geographic feature. This body of water shapes the landscape and offers visitors opportunities to explore natural surroundings.
