History
The community of Hurleton was founded by Smith H. Hurles in the late 1800s when he settled in the area and established a hotel.[4] The region became known as the Boston Ranch because of Hurles' previous residence in Boston, Massachusetts. The first post office was established in 1880 and named Hurleton in honor of Hurles who was also its first postmaster.[5]
