Hugo is rich in history. The last Confederate General of the Civil War surrendered just 15 miles east of here at the former capital of the Choctaw Nation, Doakesville. The spiritual, "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" was written a few miles from Hugo, near Spencerville. The oldest house in Oklahoma is just down the road at Swink and the oldest continually inhabited home in Oklahoma is just a few miles from Hugo. The oldest continually used church in Oklahoma is 4 miles from here at Goodland. And the oldest Protestant home for children in the United States, is also located at Goodland.

Hugo is also the winter headquarters of both the five-ring Carson & Barnes Circus and its sister circus, the  Kelly-Miller Bros. Circus. With over 50 years of circus tradition, at one time serving as the winter headquarters for 12 traveling circuses, Hugo is known as Circus City, USA. Both Circuses annually entertain hundreds of thousands of fans across America and Canada. A special section of Mt. Olivet cemetery, Showmen's Rest, is reserved for circus performers and workers. In addition, Mt. Olivet is the final resting place for rodeo legends Freckles Brown and Lane Frost.
