Self-serve gas Huntington is one of only two townships in the United States, alongside
Weymouth, Massachusetts, to ban self-service gas stations at the township level and among the few places in the U.S. where
full-service gas stations are compulsory and no self-service is allowed; the entire state of
New Jersey and the western-Mid Valley portion of
Oregon are the only other places in the country with similar laws. ==Notable people==
