From Forest Clearing to Railroad Town
Huntertown was first known as 'The Opening,' a natural clearing in the forest along the Coldwater Road between Fort Wayne and Lima (now Howe), where William T. Hunter settled around 1837. The town wasn't formally platted until 1869, and lots didn't sell until 1872, once the Grand Rapids & Indiana Railroad reached the area -- yet Huntertown wasn't incorporated as a town until 1966, nearly a century later.
Rural Infrastructure Meets Suburban Growth
That century-long gap between platting and incorporation means a lot of Huntertown's plumbing infrastructure was built piecemeal, often to rural or small-town standards, before the more recent wave of subdivision growth that has brought the town's population to 11,097 as of the 2020 census. Matching a repair to the right era of well, septic, or municipal-tie-in work is part of getting a Huntertown job right.
