The city was established as a coal town in 1907 and named after Samuel Gebo who immigrated to America from Canada.

Gebo founded the Owl Creek Coal Company and the first mine in the area. The town remained an active mining town until 1938.

Today, the town is abandoned with only remnants of buildings still standing. At its height, Gebo was the largest town in Hot Springs County.
