Hardin County, Kentucky, established in 1792 and named after Colonel John Hardin, a veteran of the American Revolutionary War, is of considerable genealogical interest due to its role in the westward expansion of the United States. Elizabethtown, the county seat, has been central to the county’s development since its establishment and serves as a key repository for historical and genealogical records. The county’s geographic features, including its proximity to the Ohio River to the north and the establishment of Fort Knox to the west in 1918, have significantly influenced its economic and population growth. Genealogical researchers will find Hardin County’s archives to be a treasure trove of information, with records dating back to its founding. These records include land grants, marriage records, and court documents.
