Harding is an unincorporated community in Freedom Township, LaSalle County, Illinois, United States, 12 miles (19 km) north of the county seat of Ottawa.

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.[2] The village has a United Methodist Church,[3] volunteer fire fighting station, small cemetery and Harding Grade School.[4] A small community building, centralized in the town, is used nearly every month to host a bluegrass music show. The mail is delivered by postal carriers from the nearest post office in Earlville.
