'Lime City' has a rock-solid foundation
Huntington earned the nickname “The Lime City” in the 1840s due to its wealth of limestone deposits, and a large gravel quarry east of town remains a lasting reminder of that legacy. But there’s more than stone to this Northeast Indiana city of around 17,000 residents. In addition to being the Huntington County seat, Huntington is home to Huntington University, The Quayle Vice Presidential Learning Center, two major religious organizations and several neighborhoods on the National Register of Historic Places due to their array of 19th-century architectural styles.
Huntington is commonly referred to as Lime City for the many limestone quarries in the area.
Huntington has many styles of historic homes including Colonial Revival.

Proximity to Fort Wayne appeals to residents
Huntington is about 13 miles from two major employers southwest of Fort Wayne – GM's Fort Wayne Assembly Plant and Vera Bradley’s corporate headquarters. Fort Wayne International Airport is 22 miles away. “A lot of people live here and work in Fort Wayne, and vice versa,” says Tammy Selig, an agent with Century 21 Property Shoppe. Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems manufactures brake systems and is Huntington's largest employer. Our Sunday Visitor, which publishes a monthly magazine distributed in Catholic churches across the country and the North American English edition of the official Vatican newspaper, is another top employer. Huntington is also home to the national office of the Church of the United Brethren in Christ.
Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems in Huntington develops and supplies leading-edge active safety technologies for several types of vehicles.
The Church of the United Bretheran in Huntington founded Huntington University in 1897.

A mix of historic and modern homes
Several of Huntington’s neighborhoods, including Drover Town Historic District and Hawley Heights Historic District, are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, Colonial Revival, Italianate and Queen Anne styles are all prevalent. However, Selig says these houses are also rarely on sale. “There’s more of an influx to neighborhoods on the north and south of town,” Selig says. Custom-build new traditional homes in these neighborhoods range between $320,000 and $480,000. Huntington’s median home price is around $180,000, about $70,000 less than Fort Wayne and significantly less than the national median of around $400,000.

Huntington North High School draws from entire county
Huntington University is affiliated with the Church of the United Brethren in Christ. The school, which has around 1,400 students, has a small, wooded campus on the city’s north side that lends itself to the nickname of the Foresters. Forest Glen Park, a diamond literally set within a forest glen, is one of the most unique settings in college baseball.
Huntington North High School is the lone high school in Huntington County and earns a B-minus rating from Niche. Selig says football and basketball games at Huntington North draw widespread support in part because so many smaller towns also feed into the school. "There's a pretty big sense of community," she says. Huntington County School Corporation receives a district-wide B-minus rating. Huntington Catholic School, a private K-8 option, is not rated.
Huntington University in Huntington is a highly rated private Christian university.
Huntington North High School is a public school serving all of Huntington County.

Serving pork tenderloins since 1908
Huntington’s primary retail areas are downtown and along the U.S. Route 24 Bypass. Downtown is anchored by favorites like Party Shop coffee and confections, Wise Guys Italian Restaurant and Nick’s Kitchen. Nick’s Kitchen, which opened at its current location in 1908, still serves its original pork tenderloin recipe. National chain restaurants and grocery stores are predominant on the Bypass.
Huntington Drive-In, one of fewer than 350 drive-in movie theaters remaining in the U.S., shows double features on Friday and Saturday nights during the summer, as it has for more than 80 years.

Sunken Gardens have been a local favorite for a century
Memorial Park is highlighted by the Sunken Gardens, a natural amphitheater reclaimed from a limestone quarry in the 1920s. From the first spring bloom to its year-end Christmas light display, Sunken Gardens is a year-round Huntington favorite.
City parks aren’t the only outdoor recreation available to Huntington residents. Two Indiana DNR reservoirs—J.E. Roush Lake and Salamonie Lake—are a short drive south of the city, and both bodies of water are surrounded by natural areas open to hiking and camping.
A former limestone quarry has new life as a beautiful garden known as Sunken Gardens.
J Edward Roush Lake in Huntington also known as Huntington Lake has over 8,200 acres of scenic land for camping and hunting.

Quayle Vice Presidential Learning Center is an educational experience
