Huntley is a village in McHenry County, Illinois, that also extends into Kane County, and it takes its name from founder Thomas Stillwell Huntley.

Huntley was founded in 1851 and incorporated in 1872, yet its population never rose above about 650 people until the latter half of the 20th century.

Huntley's village motto is "The Friendly Village with Country Charm."

The village is bisected by Illinois Route 47, crossed by the Union Pacific Railroad, and bordered on the south by Interstate 90.

The 2020 census counted 27,740 people in Huntley, and Census Bureau estimates put the village's population near 29,000 by 2025.

Census Bureau figures count about 12,200 households in Huntley, with an owner-occupied housing rate of about 89 percent and a median home value of around $334,300.

Much of Huntley's growth came from Sun City Huntley, Del Webb's first age-restricted 55-and-over community in the Midwest, where residents began moving in during 1999 and nearly 5,500 homes were ultimately sold.

Sun City Huntley's amenities are anchored by the roughly 94,000-square-foot Prairie Lodge, with clubhouses, pools, a fitness center, and an 18-hole golf course.

Huntley students attend Consolidated School District 158, one of the fastest-growing school districts in Illinois, which serves nearly 9,500 students and built eight new schools between 1995 and the mid-2000s.
