Blackford County in East Central Indiana was founded in 1839. Located seven miles east of Interstate 69, Blackford County is comprised of two primary cities: Hartford City, the county seat, and Montpelier, its nearby neighbor.

The people of both communities live and work in Blackford County because they enjoy the rich history and small-town atmosphere. They also enjoy the convenience and access to nearby metropolitan areas. Blackford is also an easy driving distance from Taylor University, Ball State University, Indiana Wesleyan University, and Ivy Tech Community College.

Hartford City and the surrounding areas abound in recreational opportunities at several public parks located throughout the county. Whether you’re looking for swimming pools, basketball courts, hiking trails, ball fields, or a golf course, you’ll find it here.
