History
edit.jpg)
Settlers from McPherson, Kansas established a settlement in what was then west-central Seward County, Kansas in 1885.[4][5] They originally named this settlement Hugo in honor of French writer Victor Hugo, but then changed its name to Hugoton to distinguish it from Hugo, Colorado.[6][7] Hugoton's first church, Hugoton United Methodist, was also the first in Stevens County and was founded in 1886; it is still active as of 2019.[8] The first post office in Hugoton was established in April 1886.[9]
In 1886, the Kansas Legislature reestablished the surrounding area as Stevens County, and Gov. John Martin designated Hugoton as the interim county seat. This set off a violent county seat war with nearby Woodsdale. Hugoton became the permanent county seat in 1887, but the conflict continued, culminating in the Hay Meadow Massacre of 1888.[5] Woodsdale founder and attorney Samuel Newitt Wood, heavily invested in the conflict for the county seat, was assassinated by James Brennen, one of the men involved in the Hay Meadow Massacre, outside the Hugoton courthouse on June 23, 1891.[10]
During the 1890s, economic decline drove many residents to leave for newly opened territories in the American Southwest, and the population declined significantly.[5] The Santa Fe Railway reached Hugoton in 1913, which spurred growth.[6][11] Natural gas was discovered southwest of the city in 1927, leading to the development of the Hugoton Natural Gas Area and the transformation of Hugoton into a major center of natural gas extraction.[12]
Hugoton reportedly served as a temporary home for infamous criminals Bonnie and Clyde.[13] They lived in the unincorporated areas near Hugoton, assuming the aliases of Jewell and Blackie Underwood. Jewell operated a cafe, Jewell's Cafe, and Blackie reportedly worked on area farms. Locals believed they ran a bootlegging operation out of the cafe.[14] Clyde was officially in prison during the time they are claimed to be in the Hugoton area,[15] but locals still insist Jewell and Blackie were Bonnie and Clyde. Receipts from Jewel's Cafe were found in the duo's vehicle after their deaths in a 1934 shoot-out.[16]
In the mid-1930s, Hugoton, along with much of Kansas and parts of other nearby states, suffered the effects of the Dust Bowl, which ravaged the Great Plains in waves between 1934 and 1940.[17] Southwest Kansas was hit particularly hard between 1932 and 1936.[18] The famous "Black Sunday" dust storm that marks the naming of the Dust Bowl as a geographic area encompassing most of the mid-United States and affecting the entire country, hit Hugoton and neighboring towns in multiple counties and in Oklahoma early on April 14, 1935.[19]

It lies in the High Plains region of the Great Plains approximately 11 miles (18 km) southeast of the Cimarron River.[20][22] It also lies within, and is the namesake of, the Hugoton Natural Gas Area. The Hugoton natural gas field is the largest such field in North America and the second largest in the world.[23]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.75 square miles (4.53 km2), all land.[24]
