It was created on 22 July 1887 for the businessman and Conservative Member of Parliament, John Hubbard. He was head of the firm of John Hubbard & Co and also sat as a Member of Parliament for Buckingham and the City of London.[1] His eldest son, the second Baron, was a partner in the family firm and represented Buckingham in the House of Commons as a Conservative.[1] He was succeeded by his eldest son, the third Baron.

The title passed to their first cousin once removed, the fifth Baron. He was the grandson of Hon. Cecil John Hubbard, third son of the first Baron. As of 2018, the title is held by his eldest son, the sixth Baron.
