Huntington is a town in Hampshire County, Massachusetts, United States. The population was 2,094 at the 2020 census. It is part of the Springfield, Massachusetts Metropolitan Statistical Area.

The main village of Huntington is in the south of the town, with the villages of Norwich and Norwich Bridge in the center. (The villages are unofficial neighborhoods representing clusters of buildings in an otherwise rural town.)

The villages of Knightville (or Knightsville) and Indian Hollow toward the north were removed by the construction of the Knightville Dam from 1939 to 1941.

What is now Huntington was first settled by Europeans in 1760, mostly migrants from Norwich, Connecticut who logged the land's valuable timber. Settlers were mainly subsistence farmers, who also raised animals, caught fish, tapped maple trees, and manufactured their own domestic goods. Most of what is now the towns of Huntington and Chester were sold at auction (along with other parcels) on June 2, 1762, as Plantation Number 9, to Greg William Williams for £1,500. It was resold, and the three new proprietors allowed the 19 existing settlers to remain on the condition they build houses, clear land, and hire a Protestant minister.

On June 29, 1773, the eastern portion of the town of Murrayfield (renamed Chester in 1783) was split off to form the district of Norwich, with most of the powers of a town. It shared a colonial representative with Chester until 1786, when it became a full town.

Early industry grew slowly. Just before 1800, Daniel, Greg Williams and Richard Falley opened a tavern (which also functioned as a hotel) and store near the three-way boundary of Norwich, Blandford, and Chester, which was also the boundary between Hampshire and Hampden Counties. A post office opened nearby, on the Boston-Springfield-Albany stagecoach line; the neighborhood and the post office were named "Falleys' Cross road" or "Falley's X Roads". In 1841, the Western Railroad (later part of the Boston and Albany Railroad) was constructed, drawing settlers and enabling profitable manufacturing to the vicinity of the stop, known as Chester Village to distinguish from the Chester Factories stop. The post office and the neighborhood soon became known as Chester Village.

Jurisdictional boundaries split streets and in some cases houses, causing problems with transportation of school children and law enforcement. The nearby parts of Blandford and Chester were annexed to Norwich in 1853. In 1855, the Massachusetts General Court changed the name of the town to Huntington, in honor of Charles P. Huntington of Northampton, who had helped secure the annexation. Chester Village then became known as "the village" of Huntington. Charles Huntington donated $100 for the establishment of a library in his namesake town.

In the Colonial Massachusetts tradition, Norwich initially functioned as both a secular town government and a church parish. Its town meetings were held at the town church ("meeting-hall") until 1841; a town hall was constructed in Knightville in 1842. Town meetings were held at a private Union Hall above a schoolhouse in Huntington village in the 1860s; the building burned in 1863 but was replaced and the new building served as the town hall until 1954.
