Huntington Station/South Huntington
Huntington Station got its name in 1867 when the Long Island Rail Road extended its tracks to the south of Huntington and workers built a station along its tracks.
Its location is ideally convenient for anyone wanting to commute to New York City or for those who want an elite shopping experience in Long Island.
Huntington Station is the birthplace of poet Walt Whitman, whose home remains, now serving as a museum where you can see 19th century furnishings and artifacts, over 130 Whitman portraits, and letters and original manuscripts from the poet.
