Huntington County, Indiana
Huntington County was organized from the previously unorganized Indiana Territory and lands gained by the Adams New Purchase of 1818.[3] The first non–Native American settlers in what has since become Huntington County were a group of 29 farm families from Connecticut who arrived in the early 1830s.These were "Yankee" settlers, meaning they were descended from the English Puritans who settled New England in the colonial era.When they arrived in what has since become Huntington County, the settlers from Connecticut found dense virgin forest and wild prairie.[4] The county was named for Samuel Huntington, who signed the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation.The terrain of Huntington County consists of low rolling hills, completely devoted to agriculture or urban development.Representatives, elected to four-year terms from county districts, are responsible for setting salaries, the annual budget, and special spending.
