Leander Lemmon, along with a few other stockmen, explored the Huntington area in 1874 in order to establish a cattle and sheep ranch.

Leander Lemmon was his partner at the time and stayed here to help establish Huntington, raise a family, and be an active participant in civic affairs; he resided here until his death in 1907.

Leander constructed the first permanent residence on Huntington Creek, a one-room log cabin, in 1876, but this was later demolished.
