Hoyt was born near Worthington, Ohio, in 1831. He was the son of Joab and Judith (Hawley) Hoyt.
He graduated from Ohio Wesleyan University in 1849; attended for a time the Cincinnati Law School; then followed a course at the Eclectic Medical Institute, graduating in 1853.
From 1853 to 1855 he taught chemistry and medical jurisprudence at the Eclectic Medical Institute, then for the next two years he taught at the Cincinnati College of Medicine and at Antioch College. In 1857 he moved to Wisconsin. There he published at Madison the Wisconsin Farmer and Northwestern Cultivator, 1856-67; served as secretary and manager of the Wisconsin State Agricultural Society, 1860-72; helped to reorganize the state university to include the agricultural college; served as a state railway commissioner, 1874-76; and was a founder and president, 1870-74, of the Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts, and Letters.
He had opposed slavery in the days before the Civil War and had been active in the formation and establishment of the Republican party, campaigning for Fremont and Lincoln. In 1878 President Hayes appointed Hoyt governor of Wyoming Territory, a position which he held until 1882. Owing to the condition of his health, in 1885 he moved to California, but in 1887 he returned to Wyoming as the first president of the state university and served until 1890. He outlined a plan for the complete development of the university which was in part adhered to as the institution expanded, and in the state constitutional convention of 1889, where he served as chairman of the committee on education, he influenced the educational system of the state. As early as 1870 he had made a report to the National Teachers' Association (later the National Education Association) in favor of a national university, and as organizer and chairman of a national committee of four hundred to promote the establishment of such an institution, he devoted himself to the project, especially after he moved to Washington in 1891.
Hoyt's other activities were numerous. He served as Wisconsin state commissioner at the London International Exhibition of 1862, and as national commissioner to the Paris Universal Exposition of 1867 and to the Vienna International Exhibition of 1873. His published works include a "Report on Education" (Reports of the United States Commissioners to the Paris Universal Exposition, 1870, vol. VI), written after he had made a survey of European educational institutions; Studies in Civil Service (1884); An Agricultural Survey of Wyoming (1893); and further reports on educational institutions abroad published in the Reports of the Commissioner of Education. He also edited Volumes V to X, inclusive, of the Transactions of the Wisconsin State Agricultural Society (1860 - 72).
