This area was originally settled after the Land Run of 1893. A post office was established in Covington on February 24, 1903. Formerly named Tripp, the town was renamed Covington after a local resident.
Covington is located on Highway 74 about 17 miles southeast of the county seat of Enid.

In August 1926, the notorious George and Matt Kimes robbed the town's two banks. The gang locked 24 people in a bank vault and demanded "just the bank's money, not the widows' and orphans'." The crooks were captured a month later.

Wheat farming and oil-related businesses are the backbone of this community.
