- Today I walk around Huntington village and I actually try out my new mic for the first time. I think the mic works really well and blocks out that annoying wind noise. I barely heard any wind in this video, which is awesome!
Description about Huntington village from wikipedia:
In 1653, three men from Oyster Bay, Richard Holbrook, Robert Williams and Daniel Whitehead, purchased a parcel of land from the Matinecock tribe. This parcel has since come to be known as the "First Purchase" and included land bordered by Cold Spring Harbor on the west, Northport Harbor on the east, what is now known as Old Country Road to the south and Long Island Sound to the north. The three men immediately turned the land over to the settlers who had already been living there.[3]

From that initial settlement, Huntington grew over subsequent years to include all of the land presently comprising the modern Towns of Huntington and Babylon. The southern part of the town was formally separated to create Babylon in 1872.[3]
Because Huntington was populated largely by English settlers, unlike the rest of the New Amsterdam colony, the town voted in 1660 to become part of the Connecticut colony rather than remain under the authority of New Amsterdam. It was not until the British gained control of New Amsterdam in 1664 (renaming it New York) that Huntington was formally restored to the jurisdiction of New York.[3]
Following the Battle of Long Island during the American Revolutionary War, British troops used Huntington as their headquarters, and remained encamped there until the end of the war.[3]
The arrival of the Long Island Rail Road in 1867 transformed the economy of Huntington from primarily agriculture and shipping (based on its well protected harbor) to tourism and commuting. Cold Spring Harbor became a popular summer resort.[3]
The end of World War II brought about an explosive growth of population in Huntington, as in the rest of the region. Farms and resorts gave way to homes, and Huntington has transformed into a major bedroom community for nearby New York City.[3]
Great video
Just visited with the fam today we were all surprised at all the stores, the cleanliness and overall great vibe.
I lived in Huntington from 1957 thru 1962 and have so many wonderful memories, great town!
Just in this short video, so many things have changed since then. I miss the Book Revue, but members of the staff re-opened a couple blocks north on 110, now called, “The Next Chapter”. And the old bank is now Aboffs’s Paint. Eduardo’s cozy European style restaurant opened up where that yellow storefront was, and a bunch of other things, some decorative, others business changes, have continued to upgrade the Town. Like the scaffolded builder with the “For Lease” sign is now a beautiful Daniel Gale Real Estate office. I saw my friend’s car parked and another business I used nearby, and I knew several of the people you passed too. I love it here, when I leave, it will be in a box or similar.
nice video
No way, you got the og flex in the shot!
How far is the Village from the nearest LIRR Station?
The nearest station is Huntington station and it’s about 2 miles south from the village
@@christopherdigiuseppe5396 i live like 5 mins away from the station, i always go to that 7/11 thats up the road lol
Between 1-2 miles south and there is bus service from there. But on a lovely day, it’s a nice walk. As soon as you pass the first block with condos behind a fence, you’re already into the stores.
@@seviregis7441 lol, don’t make that walk at night.
