The Hugoton Area Chamber of Commerce & Tourism welcomes you to Stevens County…
Stevens County, Kansas is a progressive county with a “Vision for the Future” where our citizens enjoy small town quality of life, but still have the ability to do BIG business, even on a global basis.
Hugoton has long been known as the “Natural Gas Capitol” of North America, but Stevens County is a diversified community with thousands of acres of rich irrigated farm land and we are known as one of the leading corn producers in the state. Stevens County is home to Kansas Dairy Ingredients; a one-of-a-kind milk processing plant; Seaboard Energy; your Responsible Energy Production facility; Northwest Cotton Growers Co-op; North America’s second largest cotton gin; and is also home to multiple feed lots and several dairies which provide numerous jobs for our citizens.
Hugoton hosts numerous community events, such as “Park Day” on July 4thand the High Plains Music Fest in September. Forewinds Golf Course is our beautiful nine-hole course just a minute west, and don’t forget to stop and take a dip on a hot summer day at our ‘Oasis on the Prairie’; the Hugoton swimming pool, located in Hugoton’s City Park on north Main Street, open May-August. The Stevens County Gas & Historical Museum was established as a tribute to the Hugoton Gas Field and the progressive development of Stevens County. There are displays of Indian artifacts, early 1900 furnishings, farming tools, printing and western displays that bring back life in the days of long ago; and also the new Buddy Heaton display; complete with Buddy’s original chaps & vest, Clyde’s hide, a buffalo head and videos that highlight Buddy’s life, including his appearance at President Kennedy’s inauguration; and the Dr. William Bundy Medicine find. It truly is “History Unearthed”
We enjoy outstanding educational, recreational and medical facilities, but our greatest asset however, is our friendly people.
Welcome. We hope you enjoy your time in Stevens County!
