Could "Notable residents" please be divided into "Current", "Former", and "Deceased". For example, I see that Walter Whitman (died 1892) is currently listed as a "Notable resident", though not in the subdivision "Former". -- 201.17.36.246 ( talk) 21:56, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
Forgive me, I didn't read the page. But how can it be a town with that population? Shouldn't it be a city? 76.11.104.83 ( talk) 05:08, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
I changed first settlement date from 1653 to 1640. The earlier version of the article dated (I believe correctly) the "First Purchase" of land by Englishmen from Raseokan of the Matinecock Tribe on April 2, 1653. However it also said (I believe correctly) that these purchasers turned the land over to "a group of white men who had already settled within its boundaries." I became suspicious that there would have been a settlement of a "group" of Europeans within the first 3 months of the same year as the purchase. Although this is not impossible, it seemed implausible. Then I discovered a 1970 article by Roy E. Lott entitled "Influence of the 'Duke's Laws,'" which reported that Silas Wood claimed that Huntington was first settled in 1640. Lott describes Wood as Long Island's first historian and imputes this information to an 1824 writing of Wood. I do not have any independent information regarding the accuracy of Wood's (or Lott's) writing, but this version seems more plausible than the implied account that both the first settlement occurred in the first 3 months of 1853.

Yes, everyone in that town knows that It was founded in 1653.-- RayqayzaDialgaWeird2210 13:06, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

I'm a Huntington native and noticed there were some inconsistencies in the residents section. While I'm sure the person(s) who added Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were excited to do so, they did not ever reside within the Town of Huntington. They stayed for a short time in Oyster Bay, which is a neighboring but separate township on Long Island. John Lennon was listed as living in Laurel Hollow, which is also in Oyster Bay, not Huntington. I also added Jets defensive end Mark Gastineau, who had a place on a court overlooking the harbor in the 1980s (my buddy was his neighbor). I will be checking more entries for accuracy soon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexandermoir ( talk • contribs) 14:18, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

Huntington, Suffolk County, New York → Huntington, New York – This article was recently moved from Huntington, New York to Huntington, Suffolk County, New York with a spurious rationale that "it's standard protocol to include the county..." but this is untrue of many other towns on Long Island and throughout New York State Further, the redirect left when the page was moved has been changed to point to Huntington (CDP), New York rather than to this new page, thus breaking hundreds of internal links that used to point to this page. All this was done with no discussion of the matter. WikiDan61 ChatMe! ReadMe!! 19:55, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Why is Marlene Dietrich listed as a notable resident of Huntington, New York, but her Wikipedia article nowhere mentions Huntington, New York? 173.88.246.138 ( talk) 01:07, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
I have removed entries in the In popular culture section that listed various points in Huntington as filming locations. Unless the film or TV series specifically mentions the location as being in Huntington, the use of the location does not constitute a cultural reference. It just means the producers found a convenient location that had a look they needed for their shot. For example, Royal Pains is a series set in the Hamptons. The fact that they used a Huntington beach to stand in for a Hamptons beach might just mean that it was easier for them to get filming permits in Huntington than in the Hamptons. Unless the episode specifically mentioned the West Neck location, it is not relevant. WikiDan61 ChatMe! ReadMe!! 12:29, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
