==History==
Horntown is the center of a dispersed rural community in Jacobs Township of Hughes County that formed in the 1920s. The earliest inhabitants, according to the ''Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture,'' were T. C. Horn and Charley Hawthorn, who operated retail stores, garages, gasoline stations and a restaurant at the crossroads of two section-line roads that are now U.S. Highways 75 and 270.<ref name= "EOHC-Horntown">[https://www.okhistory.org/publications/enc/entry.php?entry=HO044 Everette, Dianna. "Horntown". ''Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture,''] Accessed July 6, 2019.</ref>

When Horntown incorporated on August 2, 1995, it comprised 4.021 square miles. Also in that year, the population of the immediate area served by Horntown's businesses included approximately 200 residents. Subsequently, the U.S. Census of 2000 counted 61 residents inside the town limits. The census of 2010 recorded an official population increase of 97. At that time, a convenience store–a restaurant, a gasoline station, and a tire store operated. The Horntown fire department, law enforcement, and emergency services maintained a small complex of buildings, and the Banner Baptist Church served residents.<ref name= "EOHC-Horntown"/>
