Hardy’s Railroad History
Hardy was established in 1883 as a result of the construction of the Kansas City, Springfield, and Memphis Railroad. The town emerged in the twentieth century as a popular tourist destination for Mid-southerners seeking the natural beauty of the Ozark foothills. Railroad crews stayed in “camps” in the small town which eventually grew and had railway routes through the county. Hardy was named for railroad contractor James Hardy of Batesville, and was developed on 600 acres of land by early settler Walker Clayton in 1883. Visitors began to ride the train through Hardy and the scenic beauty of the river soon became common knowledge. In 1908 Memphis physician George Buford and his wife were temporarily stranded in Hardy when their train experienced a mechanical failure. The couple fell in love with the beauty of the area and in 1909 they purchased 50 acres of land and built a summer cottage. The Bufords continued to buy land and built ten more cottages for summer visitors. The tourism industry at Hardy had begun. By 1920 two blocks of Main Street, Hardy were filled with several businesses, thanks to the growth in tourism. Hardy realized the important economic impact the railroad had on the area. The average population increased by thousands during the summer months. Hardy began opening specialty shops during the past three decades and the city remains a popular tourist destination. Hardy is currently served by BNSF Railway. Formerly, the railroad through Hardy was part of the Frisco Railway.
