History
Huntingburg was platted in 1837 by Colonel Jacob Geiger who purchased 1,920 acres (7.8 km2) of land and became one of the city's first permanent settlers. It was likely so named because the site had been a popular hunting ground. Huntingburg was incorporated as a town in 1866.
The Huntingburg Commercial Historic District and Huntingburg Town Hall and Fire Engine House are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Huntingburg post office has been in operation since 1842.
As part of Dubois County, Huntingburg re-entered the Eastern Time Zone on November 4, 2007, after 15 months on the Central Time Zone.
On May 14, 2020, during the 2019-20 coronavirus pandemic, the city's local meat processing plant run by Farbest Foods reported 42 cases of COVID-19 among the employees, resulting in an 2-day closure beginning on May 18.
