Hugo is an unincorporated community in southern Camden County, in the U.S. state of Missouri. The community is located approximately 3.5 miles east-southeast of Camdenton on Missouri Route V, just north of Missouri Route 7.[1]
The community was originally settled as a town called Chauncey. A post office called Chauncey was established in 1883. The town was platted in the 1890s.[2] The name was changed to Hugo in 1914, and the post office closed in 1943.[3] The origin of the name Hugo is obscure.[4]
In the early 20th century, the community had two stores, a post office, a blacksmith, a grist mill, a school, a church, and several residences.
