Welcome to Huxley ...
So far, we found very little information about Huxley. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1>
We've added Huxley to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Huxley - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Huxley, please Contact Us.
While we don't have the exact location of Huxley , we believe that it would have been located within present day Custer County<2>.
While we don't have a date for the founding of Huxley, you might get a feel for it by knowing that during our research the earliest mention that we found (so far) was on a map dated 1895.
Time Zone: The area where Huxley was located is in the Central Time Zone (CST/CDT) and observes daylight saving time

Footnotes ...
| <1> | We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Huxley, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy. |
