Kovar was named for early settler Martin Kovar, who came to the area around 1870. A church was organized by Reverend Jindrich Juren in 1894 and had 30 members in attendance, who had Czech and Moravian heritage. Agriculture and a cotton gin made up the community's economy. A post office was established at Kovar in 1903 and remained in operation until 1914, with Frank Rundus as postmaster. The community never developed fully and never recorded a population, but the community's economy eventually centered on ranching.
