Hogtown was the forerunner of the town of Canadian. It sprang up in 1886 as a tent city for a railroad gang working on the Southern Kansas line. It was named for its poor appearance, like a hogpen. After landowner Sam Polland and the railroad disputed the price for land, the line moved across the river, and the populace moved with it.
