HISTORY
Hardin County was formed in 1851. It was named after
Colonel John J. Hardin, who fell in the Mexican-American
War.
In its history the county has had three
courthouses. The first was a small wood framed building,
which burned down in the 1850s. The second courthouse
was a two-story building and stood on the site of the
current office of the county sheriff. The third and
present courthouse was constructed in 1892 and opened on
September 19, 1893. The structure was listed on the
National Register of Historic Places in 1981.
