Old Central City Neighborhood Guide

Old Central City is a working-class antiques district tucked into West Huntington along 14th Street West, where the pace is unhurried and the community ties run deep. The neighborhood has a genuine sense of place rooted in its history as an independent city before it became part of Huntington, a story you can trace at the Central City Museum. Weekend farmers markets, thrifting Saturdays, and book club nights at Cicada Books and Coffee give the area a lived-in rhythm that draws people who prefer local texture over chain convenience. Neighbors here are the kind who wave from the porch and actually mean it, and the small businesses along the main corridor reflect that same unpretentious character.
