Hardin township was organized
in 1858. It was originally included in Washington township. It was
named for William Hardin who lived in Section 32 in 1858.
The
first school was taught in a log cabin on Section 35 by Miss Margaret
Montgomery (Mrs. Roop of Washington township in 1882) she received
$1.50 per week and “boarded” with the pupils. The first school was a
frame house built on Section 34; it cost about $125, which was raised
by subscription.
