== Fun facts ==
* Politically, Hardin was once unsurprisingly a Democrat stronghold, up until the late 90s, and ever since, the county has become of the most powerfully Republican-voting counties in East Texas.
* Rose Hill Acres is mostly a residential extension of Beaumont.
* Sour Lake became a short-lived boomtown with the discovery of oil in 1901, shortly after oil was found at the nearby Spindletop salt dome. It is known as the birthplace of Texaco. Formed in 1903, the Texas Company (Texaco's former corporate name) is one of the three major oil companies that can trace its origins to the oil fields around Southeast Texas. The Sour Lake oilfield produced about 90,000,000 barrels (14,000,000 m3) of oil up to 1948, when it was producing about 3,500 barrels (560 m3) daily and new drilling was still underway. Today the Sour Lake oilfield is the oldest continuously-producing oil field in the world.
* The Ecuadorian jungle town commonly referred to as Lago Agrio was named after Sour Lake by Texaco when the company established the oil-producing settlement. Lago Agrio is Spanish for "Sour Lake". The official name of the Ecuadorian town is Nueva Loja.
* Hardin County has historically struggled with racial relations that while rather tame today in comparison to years' past, still aren't real good.
