In the year 1841, The Huntington farmers built a one-room schoolhouse. This location was on the corner of  West Montauk Highway. This location used to be called Old South Road. The school was built only 32 years after Lindenhurst was founded!

The cost of the first schoolhouse cost $5. The site included a 25×50 piece of land on the old South Road. (Now known as West Montauk Highway) The plot was at the northwestern corner of the John Barton farm in the Huntington South. This spot is now owned by the Diamond Fuel Company.
