Hart County, Administrative division in south-central Kentucky, United States
Hart County encompasses 418 square miles of rolling hills and agricultural lands, with Munfordville serving as the county seat and administrative center.
The county, established in 1819, was named after Captain Nathaniel Hart, a Kentucky militia officer who died during the War of 1812.
The region maintains strong agricultural traditions and hosts Civil War Days, a three-day festival celebrating the county's Civil War heritage.
