History
The townsite was officially platted on July 20, 1928. The Beaver, Meade and Englewood Railroad built through the area in the 1929-1930 timeframe,[5] and Hough was purposely sited along its route.[6] That trackage was abandoned in 1972,[7] but the Hough Woodframe Elevator, which was situated along the tracks, still exists and is on the National Register of Historic Places listings in Texas County, Oklahoma.[8]
