The story

from WikipediaRead it all ↗

The town of Hinton was founded with the establishment of the post office on April 18, 1902, and was originally named Crosby after Herbert D. Crosby, the County Attorney for I County (original name of Caddo County). However, just three months later on July 5, townsite developer Ivan G. Conkin changed the name to Hinton after his wife's family.
