Named for W.C. Hughes, a member of the Oklahoma Constitutional Convention, Hughes County was created in 1907 at statehood. In 1834, Camp Holmes, near Holdenville, was used in the Dodge-Leavenworth Expedition. In the early 1900s, four railroads served the area: the St. Louis and San Francisco Railway, the Missouri, Oklahoma and Gulf Railway, the Ft. Smith and Western Railroad and the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway. Wetumka Lake and Holdenville Lake both offer campsites and fishing.
