The show centers around the Hill family, whose head is the ever-responsible, hard-working, loyal and honest propane salesman Hank Hill. The pun title refers to Hank as the head of the family as well as metaphorically to the children's game King of the Hill. Hank is employed as the assistant manager at Strickland Propane, selling "propane and propane accessories", he finds his traditional values challenged by the changing world around him, though his common decency always sees him through. Hank serves as the de facto leader for his friends and family. Peggy Hill a native of Montana, a substitute Spanish teacher, though she has a poor grasp of the language, she is confident, sometimes to the point of lacking self-awareness.

Throughout the series, Peggy's niece, Luanne Platter, the daughter of her scheming brother Hoyt and his alcoholic ex-wife Leanne, lives with the Hill family.

Naïve and emotional, Luanne was encouraged to move out by her Uncle Hank, but over time, he accepts her as a member of the family. Luanne attends beauty school and creates a Christian puppet show for a local cable access TV station. Luanne marries Elroy "Lucky" Kleinschmidt, a snaggle-toothed layabout who lives on the settlements he earns from frivolous lawsuits. Hank has a healthy relationship with Tilly, a kind woman who lives in Arizona. Hank is, at first, uncomfortable with his mother dating Gary Kasner, a Jewish man, but he warmed up to Gary as their relationship progressed. Hank was dismayed by his mother's choice to break up with Gary to marry a man she's only known for a few weeks: Chuck Garrison, but found Chuck as likable as Gary. In contrast, Hank has a strained relationship with his father, Cotton Hill, a hateful World War II veteran who lost his shins to machine gun fire in Japan, who verbally abused Tilly during their marriage, leading to their divorce. Cotton marries Didi, a candy striper who attended kindergarten with Hank.

Mount Sterling Methodist Church is a historic Methodist church building near the junction of Choctaw County Road 43 and Choctaw County Road 27 in the rural community of Mount Sterling, Alabama. It is an unaltered example of the simple, Greek Revival style popular for rural churches in the mid-19th century, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 8, 1986. The church was completed in a simple Greek Revival style in 1859, when the community was a prosperous antebellum town; the land for the church was donated by the Catterlin family, early Choctaw County settlers who had established the a post office in Mount Sterling in 1838. The one-story frame building was the first in the county to be built as a church, it used for church services up until the 1970s, when the dwindling congregation could no longer afford to maintain it. In 1980, the property was donated to the Choctaw County Historical Society; the historical society, at the time having only just under 50 members, spent more than 15 years raising money and restoring the structure for use as a community hall.

It is one of only two remaining 19th century churches in the Mount Sterling area, the other being St. John's Christian Methodist Episcopal Church; the church is a rectangular structure with a gable roof running the length of the building. It sits on individual brick piers; the exterior is clad in lap board siding painted white. The front façade has two pairs of entry doors under the plain gable-end pediment; each side has four, nine-over-nine sash windows with shutters. The square, pyramidal roofed steeple sits near the entrance end of the building, is clad is lap board with vents in each side. A small addition, with details matching the main building, has been built off the southeast side of the church, with a covered walkway connecting it to the main building; the interior consists of one large room, partitioned on the south end in the 1950s to create two Sunday school rooms. The roof support system is unique to southwest Alabama, consists of a single truss with vertical tie rods running the length of the building, notched to be attached to the ceiling joists and diagonal trusses.

This has caused the bottom chord to crack, wood columns were added underneath the cracked portion. The original lath and plaster walls have been replaced with drywall, but the original heart pine flooring is intact
