Thanks for the link. It looks like it’s saying Lloyd Neck, which was part of the town of Oyster Bay, then in Queens, joined the town of Huntington, which was/is part of Suffolk, not that Huntington itself was part of Queens: “It was not until 1885, after a year of much lobbying in the State Legislature, that Lloyd Neck became a part of the Town of Huntington and Suffolk County, thereby seceding from Oyster Bay, Queens County.”

You can also see in the first link in that same section an 1873 map of the three counties of Long Island at the time (Kings, Queens, Suffolk) and Lloyd Neck shows up as part of the town of Oyster Bay, whereas Huntington is already its own town which is part of Suffolk.
