Hughes County is located in southeastern Oklahoma. It is bordered by Okfuskee County on the north, McIntosh County on the northeast, Pittsburg County on the southeast, Coal County on the south, Pontotoc County on the southwest, and Seminole County on the northwest. At the turn of the twenty-first century incorporated towns included Atwood, Calvin, Dustin, Gerty, Lamar, Spaulding, Stuart, Wetumka, Yeager, and Holdenville, the county seat. Hughes County was carved out of land belonging to the Creek nation and Choctaw nations. It was originally founded in 1895 and called Fentress. The town site was named for J.H. Holden general manger of the Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf Railroad. Organized at 1907 statehood, the county was named for William C. Hughes, oklahoma city lawyer and member of the constitutional convention.
