Additional subdivisions followed. Huntington's efforts to annex the prosperous settlement were an emotional issue for serveral years. The resolution to annex came in January 1874. Henry Drover (1815-1880) founder, an emigrant from Prussia, was an outstanding citizen and leader in the community. [map]
