Huntington Mayor Richard Strick holds the Demisemiseptcentennial Proclamation that he read to open 2023 celebrating 175 years of Huntington.
The city of Huntington and the Huntington County Chamber of Commerce recently announced in their weekly newsletters a rollout of celebrating two anniversaries this year, a 150th and a 175th on a journey to what the city is today as they gear up for the year.
The city’s highlights began with Huntington’s official 175th Anniversary of becoming a town on Feb. 16, 1848, when James Whitcomb served as Indiana’s eighth governor, and its 150th Anniversary of becoming a city is Sept. 17, 1873, according to the city.
