About Hugoton

Hugoton serves as the county seat of Stevens County, out on the open High Plains of southwestern Kansas. First settled in the late 1800s, the community grew significantly after the discovery of a massive natural gas field in the 1920s. Today, it remains a steady, practical town anchored by agriculture, the local energy sector, and a well-regarded school district. With several state and federal highways intersecting in town, Hugoton offers easy travel across the tri-state area alongside the quiet pace of small-town living.
