The Huffman neighborhood is a part of northeast Birmingham's Huffman community.
The original community, known as Oak Grove, was founded by a group of settlers who traveled down the Georgia Road from Virginia and South Carolina in 1822. After the Civil War it was re-named for Robert W. Huffman of Virginia, who served as postmaster. The settlement was not involved in mining or manufacture and grew slowly around the Huffman Academy.
The Huffman Neighborhood Association meets on the fourth Monday of each month at the Cornerstone School on Huffman Road. Don Hadden is the neighborhood president.
