The goal of the Huntley Historic Preservation Commission is to retain the unique character of Huntley and to preserve its historical elements, protecting and enhancing the community amidst its growth and development. The seven Commissioners appointed by the Village President and approved by the Village Board undertake many tasks including exploring the advantages of establishing a Historical District, landmark designation procedures and researching sites to form a data base of structures, objects and areas with architectural, historical, archaeological, or cultural significance. Site research is an opportunity for volunteers to participate. Anyone that would be interested in doing so or anyone that could contribute information about particular Huntley sites, please contact the Development Services Department at 847-515-5200.

Thomas Stillwell Huntley
Thomas Stillwell Huntley is credited with founding the town of Huntley in 1851. He was a loyal and generous member of the Congregational Church and donated the land for the train station, town square, town cemetery and three churches. He was a farmer, world traveler, and owner of the town’s first store. Thomas Huntley died May 21, 1894 at the age of 87.  His obituary concluded saying “Thomas Huntley’s name shall be spoken hundreds of times daily for many generations to come”. The Village of Huntley is one of only two towns in McHenry County named for its founder. In March 2007 the Village of Huntley was honored to have Mr. John Huntley, the great grandson of T. S. Huntley, and his family present at a Village Board Meeting at which time Mayor Sass proclaimed Mr. John Huntley as Honorary Mayor for that meeting. Mr. Huntley’s first duty was to proclaim March 2007 as Thomas Stillwell Huntley month in honor of Thomas Stillwell Huntley’s 200th birthday. It is very fitting that Huntley’s slogan is “The Friendly Village with Country Charm”. It is truly Huntley’s legacy.
