Huntington is the largest city in the Tri-State Region, being just across the Ohio River from Ohio and across the Big Sandy River from Kentucky. The city retains the charm of an earlier time, with century-old homes, historic districts, and nineteenth-century preserved villages. It also looks to the future by encouraging business creation in technology and biotechnology, with a world-class university vitalizing the city with a youth and art scene.
