The Best Historybuff in Bronx, New York

Welcome to the Huntington Free Library, a historic gem located at 9 Westchester Square, The Bronx, New York 10461. Established on October 17, 1891, and incorporated in 1892 by railroad magnate Collis P. Huntington, our library has been a cornerstone of the community long before the area became known as "The Bronx" following borough consolidation in 1898. The Huntington Free Library was founded with a visionary purpose: "to provide a place where all persons without distinction of race or creed may assemble for the purpose of reading, study, education, and self-improvement." True to this mission, we continue to serve as an invaluable resource for residents across the Bronx through diverse programs, enlightening lectures, and an extensive collection of materials.
