The post office was established on June 5, 1886 before the Land Run. The town was named for Afton Aires, daughter of Anton Aires, a local railroad surveyor. Farming was the original work of the town. When Route 66 was constructed, it ran right through town and several business sprang up to service the travelers. You can still see the remains of the Rest Haven Motel, and a DX Service Station which has been made into a visitor's center.

Eight miles southwest of town on Highway 59 is the Grand Lake of the Cherokees. There are also two attractions in Afton on the National Register of Historic Places: The Cities Service Station and Horse Creek Bridge.
