Hardy City Hall | 124 Woodland Hills Road | Hardy, AR 72542 | 870-856-3811 Prior to 1880, Hardy did not exist. Only a few families lived in this heavily timbered area, and not until the completion of the railroad did the boom times come. Thanks to the railroad, much was needed. The town of Hardy was officially founded in 1883, and was named for James A. Hardy, Jr., a 25 year old trackage subcontractor that saved his boss's life. In 1994, Hardy was made County Seat of Sharp County's Northern District, with Evening Shade being county Seat of the Southern District. The present County Seat is Ash Flat, established when the two districts were combined in 1967. Today, Hardy retains its old town flavor.
