About Hartford City

As the seat of Blackford County, Hartford City is a quiet, close-knit community in east-central Indiana with a lot of history. The town took off during the natural gas boom of the late 1800s, which brought in several glass factories and funded the classic courthouse that still anchors the downtown square. Today, it remains a relaxed place surrounded by farmland and local industry, offering newcomers affordable homes, friendly neighbors, and an easygoing small-town rhythm.
