The land that is now Huntingdale was originally inhabited by the Wurundjeri and Boon wurrung people of the Kulin nation. Huntingdale was first built up in the early 20th century as part of the expansion of Oakleigh. Huntingdale was earlier known as Oakleigh East or East Oakleigh. Oakleigh East and Huntingdale became separate suburbs in 1955.
The Post Office opened on 15 June 1918 as Oakleigh East. The railway station opened in 1927 as East Oakleigh, and both were renamed with the name Huntingdale in 1955.
In 1998, the Australian Bangladesh Islamic Council was founded, and the Huntingdale Mosque was opened.
In 2014, the Sankat Mochan Kendra centre was opened on North Road.[4] The temple provides free meals to the community, as well as aid and support for women and children in domestic violence situations and for recent Indian migrants to Australia.
In 2015, the Huntingdale Mosque was attacked after a brick was thrown through the window.[5]
