Huntington is a village and civil parish in the unitary authority of City of York in North Yorkshire, England.

It is part of the Huntington & New Earswick ward and lies on the River Foss, to the north of York and the south of Strensall.

[2] Huntington is made up of mainly low-lying land, with the highest point in the village being only 64 feet above sea level.

During the Middle Ages, the part of Huntington to the east of the Foss was part of the Forest of Galtres, a hunting royal forest that covered large areas of land to the north-east of York and is still referred to in many local place names.

The rehousing schemes during the 1930s speeded up the growth of the village and turned Huntington into a suburban area of the York.

The village suffered only a little damage during the Second World War and saw a further housing expansion along Huntington and Strensall Road in the post-war years.

[5] The village has a post office, newsagent, grocer, butcher, pharmacy and two pubs – the Hogshead and The Blacksmiths Arms.

A recent expansion is the retail park Vangarde Shopping Park which include three new major shops and many cafes and restaurants The adjacent industrial estate provides employment through several financial and service sector companies and is the UK headquarters and main manufacturing site of Portakabin Ltd., part of the Shepherd Building Group.

There is a large car park nearby, which is used all week by Huntington residents for walks along the river, exercising dogs, horses etc.

It is close to Huntington Secondary School and is just opposite the New Earswick bowls club and the Hogshead (formerly, the Flag & Whistle) pub.

There is also large scout hut to the rear and together with an active church community the site is in use seven days a week including most evenings.

The work of the local community project "Dig York Stadium" produced a historical record.
