Huntingdon was one of the original Westmoreland County townships established by the court in 1773 at the April quarter session at Hanna’s Town. In 1790 the township was divided into North and South Huntingdon. Matthias Cowan was one of the first settlers on the land that would become Irwin Station in 1853, and eventually Irwin in 1884.
