The source behind the name
USGS GNIS Populated Place names in all 50 states and DC. Features in the historical extract or explicitly named historical are excluded; duplicate decision records with identical identities and coordinates are collapsed. GNIS points identify names, not legal or neighborhood boundaries, current occupancy, school attendance or a statistical population. Nearby Census places and tracts remain separately named geographies. Name completeness and currency vary; this is not a claim to include every locally used neighborhood name.

USGS description & history
The original "standing stone" was a tribal totem-pole regarded by the Indians with superstitious veneration. When Huntingdon was laid out on this tract, it was named in honor of Selina Hastings, Countess of Huntingdon. The borough seal of Huntingdon still bears a slender stone pillar as its central figure.
