All Roads Lead To Hardin County Welcome to historic Hardin County, a place of quiet surprises.
Every community has a story to tell.
In Hardin County, the story begins with land. We Iowans have been blessed with some of the richest and deepest topsoil in the world, and we appreciate it. Early pioneers came here as families to farm, to put down roots, and to make this corner of the world a good place to live. Historic places in Hardin County reflect that community spirit. The magnificent courthouse in Eldora stands as a tribute to those who took pride in their government and their ability to solve local problems.
