The village was founded on August 1, 1892, and named after William Burch Hunt,[5] a landowner.

Huntsdale was first incorporated in 1906, but that status eventually fell into neglect and the last village council election took place in 1929.

Due mainly to an influx of residential development in the area, Huntsdale was reincorporated in February 2003 and its first elections were held two months later.

[8] According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 0.02 square miles (0.05 km2), all land.

20.0% of all households were made up of individuals, and 13.4% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
