Hodgeman County, located in the southwestern part of the state of Kansas, was established on February 26, 1867. The county was named in honor of Amos Hodgman, a member of the 7th Regiment Kansas Volunteer Cavalry who died during the Civil War. Interestingly, due to a clerical error, an extra "e" was added to the name, resulting in the spelling as "Hodgeman."

Initially, settlers used the area primarily for cattle ranching. By 1870, the population started to grow slowly as settlers came to the region, and in 1879, Jetmore, named after Abraham "Abe" Jetmore who was an attorney in Topeka, was declared the county seat. In the early 1880s, the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway expanded across Kansas, passing through the southern part of Hodgeman County, which accelerated the growth of agricultural activities and settlement in the area.

Throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, farming began to replace cattle ranching as the main economic activity. The county became known for its production of wheat, corn, and sorghum, and to this day, agriculture remains a key aspect of the local economy.

A fun fact about Hodgeman County is that it is home to HorseThief Reservoir, a 450-acre recreational lake that opened in 2010. The lake was named to commemorate the notorious outlaws who once inhabited the area and reportedly used a nearby canyon to hide stolen horses in the late 19th century. Today, HorseThief Reservoir serves as a popular destination for fishing, camping, and water sports activities, attracting nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.
