A James River farm town
Huron’s older neighborhoods hold early-1900s homes and modest mid-century houses, many with detached garages and mature trees. The State Fairgrounds, commercial corridors and ag businesses add larger buildings, and farmsteads with steel sheds and grain storage surround the city.
