Its population held steady between the last two censuses: 1,178 people in 2010, 1,194 in 2020. Half of its homes were built before 1980.

Wikipedia doesn’t have a history of Hogan yet — the old photos, dates and memories neighbors add here are how it gets written.

National Register of Historic Places

Nothing in Hogan is on the National Register yet

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Hogan has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Lewis Hurlbert Sr. House in Aurora, 3.5 miles away.

How a place gets listed

1Talk to the stateEvery nomination goes through the State Historic Preservation Office. Owners, towns and historical societies can start one.
2Try a local or state list firstMany states keep their own register with a shorter form, a common first step for old barns, halls and schoolhouses.
3Write it upA nomination covers the history, photos and a map. Lewis Hurlbert Sr. House’s page links to a real one.
