History

In 1880 a mile-square townsite was surveyed on the Prickly Pear Flat, a bench south and west of the creek. The population was 2,131 at the United States Census, 2000 census. Hardee and composed of singers from Huntington and neighboring Cleveland won an Eisteddfod competition hosted by the Scofield Welsh Choir in 1895, and later performed at an LDS general conference in Salt Lake City. Small "wagon mines" in Huntington Canyon provided limited employment. Its proximity to the regional commercial center of Price, Utah and distance from a major highway, twenty miles (32 km) to the north, has prevented Huntington from developing extensive retail business.
