Some of the nation’s oldest reliable weather observations are from a nineteenth-century Huntertown farm. Rapin Andrews began keeping meteorological records on July 17, 1839, and continued until his death ten years later. His family continued the observations until April 30, 1874

Since much of Huntertown’s growth has come from people moving from urbanized areas like Fort Wayne to new suburban subdivisions, the expectations for services have increased.
