OLD HARDESTY
1886 - 1906
Old Hardesty was a typical trade center and the mecca of early cowboys in No Man's Land. The town located about 3 miles northeast of this marker, was named for Col. Jack Hardesty, a prominent rancher in the area. Old Hardesty flourished when trail herds crossed the area but died when Rock Island Railroad bypassed it. The cemetery is located on Prairie Dog Road.
