Huntington, Mississippi

Huntington is a ghost town in Bolivar County, Mississippi, United States.

[1] In 1885, the "Arkansas City Branch" of the Louisville, New Orleans and Texas Railway was completed to Wilkerson.

[8] That same year, a large sawmill was established which supplied timber for local trade and to construct most of the buildings in Huntington.

[1] It was described that at Huntington, "bunco men, crap shooters, all kinds of gamblers...gathered from all parts of the country—Greenville, Vicksburg, Leland, etc.

", and that "on levee workers' paydays...a crowd of 200 men and women quickly gathered for gambling and drinking", after which "fights commenced".
