Highlights
Beginnings: The community, originally called Old Fields, was included in the First Purchase of Huntington by Richard Houldbrock, Robert Williams and Daniel Whitehead from the Matinecocks in 1653. The land was initially used as pasture by settlers in Huntington, but by 1780, farm families with prominent names like Brush, Wick, Jarvis, Kissam and Whitman had settled in the area. The first commercial building was the general store built in the 1860s and owned and operated by Hezekiah Howarth. The structure still stands on Broadway.
