If these roads were placed end-to-end, they would stretch from North Huntingdon to Cleveland, Ohio.

[3] The boundaries, following along Byerly's Path to Braddock Road, continued to the lines that mark Mount Pleasant, Tyrone and Pitt Townships.

Around this same time, Westmoreland County, where North Huntingdon is located, became the townships of Fairfield, Donegal, Mount Pleasant, Hempfield, Pitt, Tyrone, Springhill, Menallen, Rostraver and Armstrong.

Arnold Viele, a Dutch trader from Albany, New York was the first white man to enter this territory.

[5] Viele had wanted to establish Indian trading posts that were closer to other communities.

After Viele, James Le Tort, Andrew Montour, Conrad Weiser and George Croghan were some of the other settlers to move to North Huntingdon.

In the late 1670s, North Huntingdon Township was settled from both the eastern and western ends.

This group settled mostly in the areas of Circleville, Cavitt's Mills and Robbin's Station.

Chairs were made of logs and beds were stuffed with hay or straw.

About a century after the German and Scottish-Irish settlers, the Township's population was recorded as 3,000 in 1860.

[9] According to a census taken in 1980, North Huntingdon Township was the second largest municipality in Westmoreland County with 31,517 residents.

[citation needed] The Fullerton Inn and Andrew and Jennie McFarlane House are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The southwestern corner of the township borders the Youghiogheny River for about 1½ Km.
