Hobart is a city in, and the county seat of, Kiowa County, Oklahoma, United States.[4] It is west-southwest of Oklahoma City, and northwest of Lawton.[5] It was named for Garret Hobart, the 24th Vice President of the United States. The population was 3,413 at the 2020 Census.[6] It is served by Hobart Regional Airport. It also has two museums: the General Tommy Franks Museum and the Kiowa County Museum.

History

The present town of Hobart began almost overnight on August 6, 1901, when lots on the former Kiowa-Apache-Comanche Reservation in southern Oklahoma Territory were put up for sale. It quickly became the residence of 2,936 people, mostly living in tents. Initially, the town was nicknamed "Ragtown." Wooden structures replaced tents as fast as possible. By 1903, Hobart had electric lights, an ice plant, and some large wholesale businesses. It also had a wooden courthouse. It developed into a town whose economy was based on the production of cotton. At statehood in November 1907, Hobart had a population of 3,136.[7]

Hobart's population declined to 2,936 in 1920, but resumed growing for several years afterward. In 1930, the population was 4,982. In 1950, it reached a peak of 5,380. Thereafter, the town population went into a long-term decline that has continued to the present.[7] In the 1950 water supply in the area was improved with a series of reservoirs; the town is connected by aqueduct to Lake Hobart several kilometers to the north.

Geography

Hobart is located 120 miles (190 km) southwest of Oklahoma City and 65 miles (105 km) northwest of Lawton[7]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 2.7 square miles (7.0 km2), all land.

Economy

The economy of the area around Hobart was first based on farming, with the major crops being wheat and cotton. Cattle ranching became important later. Hobart is still primarily a farm town. By the 21st century, most of the employed townspeople worked in the education, health and social services industries.[7]
