Hardin County is located in the central part of Iowa, USA. Established in 1851, it is named in honor of Colonel John J. Hardin, a distinguished officer in the Black Hawk War and Mexican-American War, who was killed during the Battle of Buena Vista. Eldora, the county seat, was founded in 1853 and officially incorporated in 1895. The county has a rich history of agricultural development, thanks to its fertile soil and favorable climate.

In the mid to late 19th century, Hardin County attracted many settlers, primarily of American, English, German, and Irish descent. The presence of the multiple railroad lines, including the Iowa Falls & Sioux City Railroad, contributed to the growth of trade and transportation in the county during this period. The construction of the Iowa River and Montezuma Valley Railroad also played a significant role in the development of the region. Agriculture continues to be the dominant industry in Hardin County, with corn, soybeans, and hogs as major products.

A notable fun fact about Hardin County is that it is home to the Iowa River Greenbelt, a hidden gem that offers picturesque landscape and recreational opportunities. The Greenbelt encompasses 2,000 acres and features lush woodlands, tallgrass prairies, rare birds, and multiple trails for outdoor enthusiasts. This scenic area provides a glimpse into the region's natural beauty and a peaceful retreat for visitors and residents alike.
