Rev. Dr. William Smith settled the area in 1767, where Standing Stone Creek emptied into the Juniata River. Huntingdon grew rapdily for a frontier town because of it's location in a gap of the Appalachian Mountains from the Juniata River, and because Smith stipulated that land had to be developed within a couple years of purchase. Huntingdon's location in a gap in the mountains brought the Cambria & Indiana Turnpike, the Pennsylvania Canal, and the Pennsylvania Railroad.
