Background
When surveyors began to determine the size of the area, Harding was to be approximately one square mile; however, Harding is only 1/2 of a mile in length from north to south and 1/5 mile wide. Crooked Leg Creek runs along the southern border. Containing less than fifty houses, this town has a population of less than 150.[4] The village has a United Methodist Church,[5] volunteer fire fighting station, small cemetery and Harding Grade School.[6] A small community building, centralized in the town, is used nearly every month to host a bluegrass music show.[citation needed] The mail is delivered by postal carriers from the nearest post office in Earlville.[citation needed]
