Huntington opened for home sales on June 1, 1979. When developed, Huntington had the highest percentage of open space of any Columbia neighborhood, with about 330 of its 613 acres preserved as open land and woodland. Huntington had 3,202 residents according to the 2010 Census. Huntington is located on Wincopin Neck, an 883-acre tract patented to Benjamin and Richard Warfield in 1702.
