History
Hector was founded in 1878 when the Hastings and Dakota Railway Company constructed the railroad on the north side of the original town site. The ten-block town site survey was completed on September 14, 1878, on land owned by the Hastings and Dakota. (Later research showed the other Milford was actually in South Dakota, so the town could have been named Milford after all.)
