Hardin County was formed in 1851. It was named
after Colonel John J. Hardin, who died 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.
