Huntertown has deep roots. According to the Huntertown Historical Society, the town was platted in 1869 but wasn't incorporated until 1966. Some of the oldest reliable weather records in the country came from a Huntertown farm in the 1800s.
The original part of town, often called "Old Huntertown," centers on Lima Road between State Road 3 and Shoaf Road. The town's 2022 Town Center Vision Study lays out plans to reinvest in that historic core and connect it with the newer neighborhoods around it through sidewalks and trails. Town Hall is at 15617 Lima Road if you want to see the plans or attend a council meeting.

Getting around
Getting from Huntertown into Fort Wayne is pretty simple.
Lima Road
State Road 3
State Road 3 (Lima Road) runs right through Huntertown and heads south into Fort Wayne, where it meets Interstate 69 at exit 311.
Interstate 69
Union Chapel and Dupont
Interstate 69 is a short drive away. The Union Chapel Road interchange (exit 317), which INDOT finished in 2013, was built to ease traffic at the Dupont Road interchange and improve travel across northern Fort Wayne and the communities around it. Dupont Road (exit 316) is the next one south.
Since the town's study points out that State Road 3 divides the newer neighborhoods from the town center, it's worth driving the route you'd actually take each day before you buy. We're happy to do that drive with you.

Trails
The Pufferbelly Trail
