The land that now encompasses Hideaway was originally included in the large plantation owned by Texas governor Richard B. Hubbard.{{Cite web |title=TSHA {{!}} Hideaway, TX (Smith County) |url=https://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/entries/hideaway-tx-smith-county |access-date=2022-12-20 |website=www.tshaonline.org}} Later, the land was purchased by developer James Fair.
